Internet access works a little different. A simplified model would be the following: If you have a 40 KByte web page you would need 6 seconds do download it with 64 Kbit ISDN. With 1.5 Mbyte T1 speed you would only need 1/4 of a second. And after that you would need quite a few seconds to look at or read the page while the T1 line would sit idle and allow another user to access the internet at full speed.
