E-commerce at the cost of T1 isn't very interesting. It's been around for years. When I say E-commerce I'm talking about the public doing it at 33.6. Now I don't know what copper ISP you're using, but you can't rely on transaction integrity or reliability with that. That pipe is full and it's all getting slower day by day. I have purchased over the net and it's a pain in the a--. The main reason is that it's slooooow. Do you want to wait for a 250k graphic of the product you want to buy to load?
