SDSL has symmetrical speeds and full duplex communications.
Of the widely deployed lan/wan technologies, the only one I know of that is half-duplex is 802.11{b,g}.

802.11b/g are standards used in wireless (Wi-Fi) connections, there is no relation to the symetrics or
asymetrics of the actual physical line.

The only technical difference between a T1 and SDSL is how it's physically delivered to the customer, what usually happens is that a T1 is not oversold, while an SDSL is oversold anywhere from 8:1 to 3:1.
That is correct in the genereal idea, however, as xDSL technologies are switched technologies, unlike cable (DOCSIS) technologies, the fact that you are overloaded 8:1 or 3:1 will not really matter. As long
as your equipment supports QoS correctly, you shouldn't have a problem.

ADSL is full duplex as well, if you don't know how to do QOS then it will feel like it's half duplex, but it's not. I have 1000/320 ADSL that I can use full bandwidth both ways.
ADSL appears to be half-duplex only due to the fact that most ISP's "misconfigure" the modems and routers. As a rule of thumb, the modem/router can be re-configured to utilize both channels to the fullest, but again, this must rely on the fact that your ISP's equipment supports QoS at the switch level correctly.

You are aware that DSL (even SDSL) is half duplex and a T1 is full
duplex, right?

1.5m sdsl can only do 768 sustained duplex, or 1.5 out 0 in, or 0 out
1.5 in. a T1 will do 1.5 in and 1.5 out sustained.

This is due to a separate transmit and receive path on a t1 and a shared
path on sdsl.

The s in sdsl means symmetrical, not duplex, that is that the signaling
rate is the same in either direction, but still half duplex.

For VoIP a t1 is worth double what a 1.5 sdsl is because of the duplex
nature of the traffic, unlike most internet that is download-centric.

Speakeasy SDSL Is 1.5 Megs, is business class (so you get an SLA) and
only costs around $100 per month.

I'm looking to expand my bandwidth for my Asterisk PBX.  Why should I

choose a T1 over DSL for my asterisk server?  I found someone
offering T1's for $290 a month + Loops or 3 Meg for $561 a month +
Loops.  Is this a good deal?
Thanks

Where are you located?  What CLEC gives you a T-1 for $290?
FWIW I provisioned a PRI and a DS-1 for $300 each. Don't know if I'm
getting a break for having a voice and a data circuit broken out from
one fiber drop, but that's what I'm paying here in Orange County. Also,
I had a business cable modem before, which was *allegedly* not shared
for business customers (suspicious) and the throughput was a roller
coaster, as was the latency. The DS-1 cleared all that up.
