What really matters is the latency, and T-1 is a huge improvement over DSL in that area. The easiest way to measure latency is the ping time to a server that is “close to you” Internet-wise. A DSL has latencies of between 40ms (if it’s extremely good and not too many other people are using it) and 1000ms (if there is a problem somewhere). A good T-1 may have latencies as low as 5 ms or so. Also, with a T-1 the bandwidth is guaranteed and bidirectional. With a DSL line, you may get burstable bandwidth – you don’t actually have that bandwidth, you just get to compete for excess bandwidth with your neighbors.

You are confusing DSL with cable.
