Much cheaper T1 if that's all you need is a
simple internet connection. |
More expensive, yet more flexible. If bundle up with
phone lines, internet services, and other features it can be
very cost effective. In most case, it can even save
you money! |

DSL could go down for days and there is nothing you can do
about it. With DSL there's rarely any mandated response
times for repairs. |
A T-1 is going to be more reliable. The big plus is if it
does go down, the Service Level Agreement and Quality of
Service negotiated with the provider mandates a quick
response (as in a few hours) to start fixing any T-1 issues.
