Just for reference, a T1 hasn't costed thousands of dollars for more

Indeed, I only did research on them about 15-20 years ago and haven't
done any research on them since.
IMO every person should be able to run their own server in their home at
low cost. ISP's are simply ripping people off, IMO.
It does not cost 600 dollars a month to "ship" electricity to someone's
house....
They have almost no costs involved other than installing the wires and
boxes and infrastructure. Indeed the infrastructure had up front costs,
but there is a reason why telephone companies are multi million dollar
for profit companies: Because suckers pay for their services at inflated
prices.
Still I'm happy that they give you good download speeds for a good price
, just not the upload speeds
Of course, these days, with fiber, and highspeed dsl, a T1 line is
relatively useless considering the cost and transfer speeds.
The speeds still are not any faster than a 10/100 network card which is
very old technology.
I'd like to see internet speeds reach the 1000 speed cards, and for wifi
to also improve to that.
But this is just a dreamer speaking.
Even usb2.0 speed is pretty slow compared to a 1000 card. So why use
internet at usb 2.0 speeds or 10/100 card speeds? But again: just
dreaming here...
