Cable modems are shared bandwidth with no guarantee of what you will get up or down, T-1's are on most Level 1 POP'S not shared in the same way that cable modems are... you get guarantee's on T-1's (SLA'S) and you don't on a cable modem..... T-1's are the only smart way to run a business..... yes, you can run a small company on a cable modem, but you are never sure what type of bandwidth you will get at any time.
