A T1 is slow and super expensive compared to standard home Internet. More importantly though is home Internet is not very reliable and any hiccup will cause a node to have to replay for a few days.
I cannot believe you're spouting this crap. Do you even know what a T1 is? Don't you get a joke? And then you come back and treat that like it's something serious to be debated! Obfuscation? Sorry that my joke lent itself to that - I should have known better. (But you could even get the job done with a T1, as long as your not living at the last mile, anyway, but let's forget about satire and try not to get distracted on the irrelevant and impertinent).
So anyhow, how about fibre optics? Have you heard of that where you live? What kind of "hiccups" are you referring to? The town where I come from gives me the same reliability that any data center could have, or are you saying that second line redundancy is actually necessary? Seriously? (My redundancy statement above was also a joke on that level.)
The idea is that you can do what you damned well please from home, all you have to do is contract it. Again, unless you live in the middle of nowhere . . .
My God, I'm appalled at your remarks, your negativism, and total lack of cooperative attitude. Simply stunned! Instead of snide, discouraging remarks, how about something constructive, like, for example, some specific specifications you might recommend? How about sharing the info on what you have? Or are you on a rented, centralized, out-of-your-control shared data server?
