A leased-line
connection capable of carrying data at 1,544,000 bits-per-second.
At maximum theoretical capacity, a T-1 line could move a megabyte
in less than 10 seconds. That is still not fast enough for
full-screen, full-motion video, for which you need at least
10,000,000 bits-per-second. T-1 lines are commonly used to
connect large LANs to the Internet.
