A T-1 line is a line that comes directly from a telephone company to the place of a subscriber. Normally, a T-1 line is composed of 24 channels each working at a speed of 64 Kbps that gives a total of 1.536 Mbps data capacity. T-1 lines have two-direction speeds. A T-1 line is used for data and for 24 voice lines in each channel, or a combination of both.
However, in using a T-1 line, a subscriber can experience several advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include:
- Since a T-1 line is bi-directional, upload and download rates run at high speeds.
- A T-1 line can support more subscribers than a DSL application.
- A T-1 line is more versatile, being able to mix data and voice.
- A T-1 line can support streaming videos and audios, web servers, and email servers.
The disadvantage is:
- A T-1 line costs a lot more than a DSL line.
