Something to be careful on with ADSL is repair times. For example, with Qwest there is a 4 hour guarenteed dispatch (24x7x365) on T1 circuits, and a 23 business hour dispatch on ADSL. YMMV with other telcos. --- Adam Debus Network Engineer, ReachONE Internet [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon R.

For example, under the current pricing we are seeing, we can install 8 ADSL circuits for about what one T-1 would cost. With 8 ADSLs, you would be getting >10 Mbps inbound and 2.8Mbps outbound -- equivalent to 8 inbound T-1s and 2 outbound T-1s for the same price as a single T-1. > > Just some thoughts. > > Jon Kibler > -- > Jon R.
