Comments on: Ups and downs of consumer broadband

Consumers increasingly are frustrated with caps on upload speeds. But providers say demand is still too meager to put upload capacities on par with download speeds.

T1 info

T1s have gone down dramatically in price over the past few years, however it's still more geared towards the commercial/business sector. I've seen prices as low as $299 during a promo, but the normal pricing is around $400-$550 per month for 1.5 Mbps of downloading AND uploading. Perfect for web hosting applications which usually require high upstream speeds. Also great for repetitive 24/7/365 large file transfers (T1s allow for truly unlimited use, with no bandwidth restrictions). Plus T1s are much more reliable and stable than consumer grade DSL and Cable, and often come with a 99.9% uptime guarantee. You always get what you pay for and it's no different when it comes to bandwidth. That's why businesses serious about the quality of their communications use T1 for all their internet and telephone services.
