I don't see the advantage of a sharing a T-1 with a bunch of other internet users over a regular dial up 28.8 kbps or 33.6 kpbs modem or a ISDN line. After all, a T-1 provides 1.544 Mbps, which can be de-multiplexed into 24 DS-0 channels of 64 kbps each. Now, if there were just 12 users, each user would have 128 kbps - the same speed as a ISDN line that costs only about $30 per month in California (from the telco where I work). So, a fractional or shared T-1 in most cases won't buy that much extra bang for the buck. Not really worth the hassle. BTW, If someone can afford a condo in San Francisco, then the monthly price of a ISDN line or even a dedicated T-1 would hardly make a ripple in the monthly payments.
