What is a T1? - In laymans terms it's a high-speed network connection. T1 can normally handle 16-24 voice conversations as well as internet for 5-10 people. A T1 is commonly used for transmitting data from private business networks and Internet service providers.
A T1 is also called a DS1 and they both offer the same symmetric speed of 1.5 Mbps up/down. Contrasting DSL and other Cable Broadband Internet that are limited to only highly populated towns and cities, T-1 service is available essentially anywhere a phone line is available. A T1 uses signal repeaters to boost up the strength of the transmission; this allows T1 lines to reach up to 60 miles away from the central Telco switching station.
