A T1 line is dedicated , while a DSL line may contain hundreds of subscribers means limited bandwidth. A DSL connection has a low price and is less reliable than a T1 connection. A DSL connection is more limited when it comes to distance.

T1 generally comes with an SLA but anyone can stick the word "Business" in front of DSL. In the case of a T1, a local access line connects the premise of installation to that of the Internet service provider being used. T1 connections typically offer service guarantees of uptime and speed, with priority assistance from experienced technicians if there's a problem; there are no guarantees with DSL and cable.Thus, the most common difference between a 1.5 Mbps DSL and a 1.5 Mbps T1 is that a T1 delivers consistent, uninhibited throughput via a dedicated 1.5 Mbps port.

T1s are large pipes used to transport digital voice and data signals from a business location to the respective media requested. The basic difference between T1 and DSL is the price. A T1 that offers a speed of about 1.5 Mbps costs much more than a DSL line.DSL is provided through a third-party vendor and is connected via a shared,switched ATM network.
