Well, T1s only run about 1.5 Mbps. Compare that to consumer-grade broadband that frequently runs at 10 Mbps or higher. As GLC said, the historical reasons for getting a T1 was the guarantee of speed and service, as opposed to the best-effor nature of a consumer-grade connection. Now with business-grade cable and DSL you can get pretty much the same service guarantee and much more speed, all for much less money.
