a modern T1 (aka DS0) is likely delivered to the end premises over HDSL
using 2 pairs. while its slower than those consumer oriented
technologies you mention, its far more reliable and has a guaranteed SLA
(service level agreement) you won't get from DOCsis (cable) or end user
ADSL, and tends to have very deterministic latencies...
