yup, but the data pipe in Europe is larger at Kendall has pointed out and they are referred to as E1's in Europe.
As to why a T1 over a broadband line? not many reasons for internet access, but the real biggie is reliability. Telco's offer what is called 5 - 9's of reliability (99.999% up time) and for a business that relies on the internet, that is critical.
for traditional WAN links, the T1 is still king. In a frame relay configuration, the "owner" of the frame has pretty much complete control over the information sent onto that network. this gives them the ability to prioritize certain traffic types higher than others (ie the traffic generated by the application that this the core of your business is more important that say, interoffice emails and you as the WAN admin can't make sure the application data is sent before an email).
