We have used sDSL from two ISPs for our webservers. The first was Concentric and it
was terrible service. The second was UUnet and their service has been great! I don't
recall it going done. We get 1 Mb both ways for $399/mo - which is much cheaper than a
T1 at $1200-1800/mo. Even a burstable T1 at $799/mo cost more. I think the key is
going to a quality ISP instead of the cheapest in the barrel and having a good phone
line to run it on.

<br>Thing to remember is what your getting, with the T-1 your getting the

<br>up as down. xDSL you usually get throttled going up, but can
get in some
<br>cases even faster down. I have a DSL line and I only get 256k
going up, but
<br>I can pull down at 1.6 meg coming down. I host my development
server off of
<br>that and it's fine, but a bigger shop may need more up. Some
DSL companies
<br>will also throttle what your down speed is too, so much of depends
on your
<br>providers, both of the T-1 and of the DSL. Before you just write
