George,
Is your interface on that T1 Frame Relay? Often that is the case on a T1
line to an ISP. If so, you want to look at what rate of Frame Relay has
been purchased. You may be able to boost throughput without adding another
line -- you have to pay more, but not as much as adding more physical lines.
Assuming a Cisco router, look at the WAN interface configuration. CIR is
the committed rate you a guaranteed to send at. EIR (or burst speed) is the
maximum rate small bursts may be sent (which may or may not get dropped).
Aside from that, prioritization by Packeteer does wonders (as others have
said).

Subject: [THIN] OT - WAN Compression
Hi everybody (dudes & dudettes),
Our T1 to the internet is getting rather full in the afternoons,
so instead of having to go with another line, can anybody recommend
any WAN compression technologies out there to help decrease this
bandwidth? Most of our patrons are just surfing or playing games
or reading email.
Happy Holidays and TIA! -George
