Hi Bill,
If your customer currently has SDSL it probably means that the workstations
have access to the Internet. Remember that with DSL everyone on the line
share access and the speed is relative to how many person are connected and
what they are doing at any one time. If your customer gets 1.5Mb speed
they will share that with other users in the area and with their own
internal workstation. In an industrial area this could mean slower
performance during working hours.
As I understand it, a T1 would be 1.5Mb all the time regardless of users.
This is the main difference. It is difficult to measure performance with
DSL because it would be difficult to measure what your neighbor are doing
at any one instance in time.
Good Luck,
Manuel
