T1 Line vs DSL

A T1 Line and DSL connection both offer bandwidth at high speed but there are factors that greatly differentiate them from one another. These factors are price and realiability. A DSL connection has a low price and is far less reliable than a T1 connection. A T1 is more expensive than a DSL connection but is also much more reliable. When needing a T1, the biggest factor is reliability when uptime is critical to the applications run over your connection. DSL is a quick and cost effective method of acquiring high speed bandwidth however it is not intended to support commercial applications or large numbers of users like a T1 connection.
