Yes they are available over there. From what I have learned in a course I took about telco history, the BELL telco's started implementing T1 digital technology back in the 60's and it proved so reliable and successful that up untill fiber optic technology came of age, all of AT&T long lines transmissions went digital via T1, and T3 technology. That is why if your abit older you remember when U were a kid and long distance telephone calls were horrible, cause they were still being transmitted in analog format all the way. And now with fiber optic, I find a telephone call accross the country often sounds better than one accross town. But anyways enough for the history lesson for today, also from what I know that T1's in Europe run at 2.048Mbbs, cause if it is for voice you can get 32 channels for 32 simultaneous conversations as opposed to the standard 24 here in the USA....
