  Wow.  Are you behind the times.  ;-)
These days DSL can be up to FIVE mbps (yes, that's right... over 3x the speed of a T1). I'm not sure what's available on business class cable in urban areas, but I know I routinely get about 3.5 mbps on no-frills residential cable service out in the middle of nowhere.
