t1 versus cabel/modem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



T1 line is signifficantly more expensive. They're designed for business. A
T1 has a throughput of 1.5 MBPS. This is a garenteed rate, and it is
always available. With cable, you share your bandwidth with everyone on
the same line as you.
