T1 connection may be faster on the upload end than most Cable/DSL today but most cable that I know of kills it in d/l speed. T1 = 1.54 Mbits up and down. Cable is rated at 5 Mbits down here, if I run a speed test I usually get between 4500 and 4850 kilobits per second down here. I would be willing to bet if you truly are on a T1 you wont get that much ever. Expecially shared with that many people. If enough people in your complex fire up a bittorrent I bet it's painful.
