Depends on which T1 we are talking about of course <g> The US and the
european telephony switches (or trunks) differ somewhat and since a T1 is
the same speed as them it also differs. But it's around 1.4 for both (+- .1
or .2).
Oh, and M in this case (always when talking bandwidth) really means Mega (1
000 000) and not 1 024 ^2 (1 048 576).

"Byte" isn't actually used, you use "octet" (8 bits) instead so everyone
will understand. Or atleast this was the case in the documents I read when
I worked at Ericsson, including RFCs and standards from ITU and other
organizations.
