The telephone wide T1 will move data slower but concentrates resources at each end. The other alternative is a dedicated telephone wire with a DSL modem at each end, a lot cheaper but still somewhat slower. For the ethernet solution you need 8 50M CAT5 cables and 7 switches IF you can provide electrical power to each of the switches. Civileme
