Well since it's no contract, why not give it a try - cancel it if you don't
like the service : )

Would that T1 be exclusive to you, or is it shared with every other
apartment? If it's shared, it probably would be slower than dialup.

My cable ISP (Comcast) currently provides 6 Mb/s, measured a few minutes
ago in excess of 7 Mb/s.

At the moment, Qwest sells me a 7Mbps DSL line.

A DS1 (T1) runs at 1.544 Mb/s. ADSL and cable modems can run at a variety
of speeds, some faster and some slower than a DS1. In my own case, my
modem runs at 5 Mb/s down and 800 Kb/s up, so it's more than 3x faster than
a DS1 for downloads, and 1/2 DS1 speed for uploads.
