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.

To further emphasize the above, if you have a T1 and it goes down, the
T1 provider monitors its own network and will usually contact you to
begin troubleshooting. Whether or not it is worth that much is
debatable, if you're really a can't be down business, then 2 T1s with
different providers and bgp with both is a nice way to start down the
road of protecting against network failure. A dsl provider is unlikely
to do contact you in the event of a failure, email notification in the
event of a pop/regional problem has been my experience.
