Frank--What I was thinking, at the time of my original question, was about the long term viability of standard T1 line vis a vis cable, dsl and fbbw. People on various threads are pronouncing T1 dead. But each of the others has hurdles to overcome. Cable is not universally available, and bogs down when too many try to use it at once (My impression is that while cable has the bandwidth of real T1 it doesn't have the same capacity?). DSL is slow on rollout, and will not be usable over all lines because of filters, etc. on the lines. FBBW is a long way from implementation.

So, I wonder, is old-fashioned T1 still viable, in special situations such as office buildings, or perhaps apartment buildings? Would T1 have any advantage over the alternatives?

Best,
JS

PS--Thanks for detouring to this thread. Just spent a most enjoyable hour reading through many quality posts.
