The cable modem gets you 10 (or more) megabits/sec down and 1 megabit/sec up minimum though it can boost up to 1.5 megabits up. Also the only reason cable modems don’t go 2-3x faster is because time warner throttles the bandwidth to perpetuate the stranglehold the huge telcos have over bandwidth and the internet in general. So cables are equal/slightly-less up rate as T1 and vastly superior downrate as T1. But they cost 1/10 as much. So what is the point of a T1 line? Just the reliability and consistency of 1.5 megabits/sec 24/7? A T1 gets you about 1.5 megabits/sec up and down for about ten times the cost of a cable modem.
