Rural living has it's perks but internet connection is not one of 'em!

Wow am I gettin' ripped! $298.00 per month! Aaaahh!!! It's a T1 line to my home-office. Only other options: dialup or satellite.

there is no way this is a T1 line.

I do not believe that is a T1 hookup. Something is wrong there.

[tekniko]

definitely

I think it's supposed to be a 1.5meg T1. At least that's what I was sold. It's a dedicated line to my house. I'll check with the company Fairpoint.
Thanks for the opinions! I know little about it but learning.

[tekniko]

don't waste any time and anymore money unless you get a T1 speed. By the way are you running some kind of hosting services on servers in your home to need such a line?

[PeteShick]

I don't think I host anything but they said I could. I don't understand it all yet but I will. Thanks for your question and skepticism!
I'm waiting to hear back from them now. I'll update as I know.

This is high-speed Lite from Shaw in Vancouver. $22 when bundled, $29.95 unbundled.

[tekniko]

about the same price for the same speed in the states

T1 line is about 1.5 Mb per second.

Yes, that is the right speed for a T1 line. Under most circumstances, you can get higher speeds for cheaper in any urban area. That being said, only with a T1 line will you get any kind of guarantee to service levels. Well, T1 and up. T1 is the only one you would consider to the house.
