I wasn't clear enough. T1 (1.544 Mbps) Was $1500/month six years ago when DSL
was first coming out. DSL can run at speeds from 128 Kbps to 8 Mbps depending
on your distance from the central office and how much you want to pay.
So think of the poor phone companies in 1996: T1=$1500/month. Roll out DSL at
$60/month? I don't think so. New Strategy! Kill off the CLECs before they can
distribute broadband to the masses and kill the T1 market. Even so, the
pressure of DSL has brought T1 prices down to the low/mid hundreds.

get out! I thought the major outlay for t1 service was actually laying a
cable to your location from wherever? so it's $1500 just for service?
and dsl is a competitor? is it *that* fast compared to a t1?
and while we're on the subject...what's "t1" mean, anyway? and "t3"? and
what speeds do those designations represent, if any?
