That T1 is an atomic-powered version of DSL really doesn't surprise me. I somehow don't expect my telling them that I will cancel my service if they don't get their act together will help, though. I'm just one customer that they can do without in a whole city or even region full of customers. It's kind of pessimistic, but beyond that, there's not much that one can do against a legal monopoly.

Still, interesitng that T1 and DSL are probably sort of the same tech. And that does explain why T1 has such a high price tag on it!
