dude i know what my connection is ive been in this buisiness quite a long time and have SETUP t-1s for he company i used to work for so dont assume im some kid without a clue. might want to research more on a t-1 its 1.44 mps PER CONNECTION (gee maybe thats why so many hosting providers use them, but what do i know right ive only been doing this crap for 18 years) Infact caesars palace rght down the road ( Who i worked for as a system administrator) uses their t-1 connection for 5000 + connections so hw about before assuming you check and find out just how much someone really knows before thinking you know it all.
EDIT ADDING SOME T-1 Info
If your office has a T1 line, it means that the phone company has brought a fiber optic line into your office (a T1 line might also come in on copper). A T1 line can carry 24 digitized voice channels, or it can carry data at a rate of 1.544 megabits per second. If the T1 line is being used for telephone conversations, it plugs into the office's phone system. If it is carrying data it plugs into the network's router.
A T1 line can carry about 192,000 bytes per second -- roughly 60 times more data than a normal residential modem. It is also extremely reliable -- much more reliable than an analog modem. Depending on what they are doing, a T1 line can generally handle quite a few people. For general browsing, hundreds of users are easily able to share a T1 line comfortably.
