Mark,
Your SDSL (Symetric Digital Subscriber Line) connection should be giving you the same
up and down so that shouldn't be a consideration. Like bill said, you will have to
consider your local providers, your access speeds, and your gauranteed up times. I
suggest checking around in your local community with others that are using your local
providers of each of these services. I have used T1 connections and find that there is
very little down time, usually only during lightning storms. ADSL has become wide
spread throughtout my local community and I find it has quite a deal of down time,
mostly due to upgrades to the phone systems.
Good luck,
Don Sparks

Mark
Thing to remember is what your getting, with the T-1 your getting the same
up as down. xDSL you usually get throttled going up, but can get in some
cases even faster down. I have a DSL line and I only get 256k going up, but
I can pull down at 1.6 meg coming down. I host my development server off of
that and it's fine, but a bigger shop may need more up. Some DSL companies
will also throttle what your down speed is too, so much of depends on your
providers, both of the T-1 and of the DSL. Before you just write it off,
look into the pros and cons at the provider level. In the end the DSL may
be better, or the T-1 may be. Hope that helps some. Just my .02.
