More like COS (class of service). T1 is incredibly reliable and gets priority restoration in the event of a failure. You can also do BGP over it (both take full routes and advertise routes).

However with the increasing availability of MPLS, you can utilize DSL with it's additional bandwidth and get the benefits of T1.

Last time I got a quote on the price, it was 500.00 a month for a DSL connection with MPLS.

T1 is 1.5 MBPS both up and down. Typical price for T1 is $250/month afaik.
DSL extreme charges me $30/month for 3 meg down, maybe 50 KBPS up.
Cox cable charges $42/month for 6 meg down, i cant remember its uplink speed.
T1 bandwidth would seem - based on the above numbers -
to be slower than both dsl and cable in downlink speed, but faster as an uplink.
Why is T1 worth so much more than cable isp or dsl?
Symmetric speed up and down? QOS ?
