Around here T1's are considered slow. And bonding them is far to expensive. Every customer we have switched over from a CLEC wants to dump their T1 for something faster. Honestly on our VoIP customers if we can't service them they get Comcast with our VOIP service. I think the T1 is the biggest thing hurting the clec's. Its hard for them to compete with comcast fiber or me I worked for two and actually had one just recently offer me a large salary to come work for them.
