A dedicated phone connection supporting data rates of 1.544Mbits per second. A T-1 line actually consists of 24 individual channels, each of which supports 64Kbits per second. Each 64Kbit/second channel can be configured to carry voice or data traffic. T-1 lines are a popular leased line option for businesses connecting to the Internet and for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connecting to the Internet.
A telephone line connection for digital transmission typically employed by Ethernet and other local area networks. For connecting to the Internet, a T-1 line is far faster than a standard phone line and may also be considerably faster than DSL service.

A high-speed copper connection that allows for transmission rate of up to 1.544 Mbps. A T-3 line allows for transmission speed of 44.736 Mbps.
A line that transfers data at 1,544,000 bps.
Most often used by businesses, not residential users, a T-1 is a unique leased telephone line connection used for digital communication only. Distance to a local phone station is critical. Transmission speed is 1,544 Kbps. One T-1 line can handle 24 voice or data channels at 64 Kbps. Many Internet sites are connected to each other through T-1 lines. Capacity sold at less than full T-1 rates is known as fractional T-1, and the user could purchase one-half or one-quarter, for example. Two fees are paid, one to the phone company for the line, averaging $200–$300 a month based on distance, and the other to an ISP, averaging $500–$800 monthly, depending on the length of contract and services provided.
A leased-line connection capable of carrying data at 1,544,000 bits per second, or 1.544 Mbps. Generally, a T-1 line will move a megabyte of data in under 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 is the fastest speed commonly used to connect networks to the Internet.
