I don't think your common variety cable or dsl broadband is full duplex, even if the speeds are greater I think broadband is half duplex....
Actually, cable and DSL are both full-duplex, though the upstream speed doesn't quite match T1 speeds. For the typical home user, T1 would offer nothing, since Comcast accounts now offers 3mbit downlink speeds, and most traffic is downlink traffic. $43/mo beats $600++ by a bunch!
