T-1/E-1
A T-1 provides for 1.54 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth for the customer. This bandwidth can be used
in total or divided up into as many as 24 channels.
In Europe, they use a very similar connection called an E-1.
T-3/E-3
A T-3 line in the United States or an E-3 line in Europe and much of the rest of the world.
A T-3 provides for 672 DS0s, or the equivalent of 28 T-1s or 44.736 Mbps! It is sometimes also
referred to as a DS3.
An E-3 provides for the equivalent of 512 DS0s, or approximately 17 E-1s or 34.368 Mbps.
