This is very badly written, it misses most of the real advantages of
the T-1 grade connection, and it neglects to point out any of the
serious disadvantages (like the T-1 being expensive and comparatively
slow). There was an era when the T-1 was all that there was, but
these days the options are so much greater for symmetric
high-bandwidth connections.

There is no ADSL with that upload speed. But there _is_ SDSL, which
is designed for that sort of thing. There is also frame relay, which
is _sort_ of a T-1, but not really.
