To add to the previous postings, when someone says they have a T1 to the
Internet all they have is a T1 connection from their office that connects
them to their ISP. The ISP usually does not own the physical wire that
connects them. Usually its owned by the local phone company. If you have
have a T1 to a remote office then that same wire is a dedicated line that
runs from your office to the branch office and most likely use PPP
encapsulation. The cost of the physical connection varies according to the
distance of the line but the price the ISP charges is most likely fixed.
Frame relay conncections are cheaper because they are over a shared medium
and are a virtual connection between endpoints unlike T1 circuits which are
totally dedicated.
