T1 is SLOW!
Lots of people think of T1, at 1.544 megabits/second, to be fairly fast. At work I'm connecting up with DS3 -- 45 Megabits/second. And not just one, but a full dozen:
Not using the full dozen. The first slot, on the right as we are looking at the backside, feeds a thingie to break out a pile of T1s. Slots 2 and 4 have the thin grey coax cables to feed my LAN. The three pairs of black cables are for the voice system.
Posting this 'cause we're switching the feeds and I have to move my LAN from the old circuits to the new -- you can see the labels over the next to vacant pairs of coax connectors. My job, very difficult, is to undo the paiars of thin grey coax cables from slots 2 and 4 and move them to slots 7 and 8. It is not like there is very much that I can do wrong.

El: blah blah DS3's blah blah
Me: I'm on vacation, I can get to them when I get back
El: When will that be?
Me: Second week of October.
El: WHAT!?
Me: did I stutter?
El: I'll call TOK.
