Are you planning to run your own T1 lines to the backbone when you're building your own datacenter to host one video?

We don't "need" them, sure, but we live in a society. We're supposed to be able to delegate work to others who specialize in doing it.

T1 lines provide a scant 1.544 Mbps of bandwidth.

No one is doing any amount of video over T1 lines in 2018.

I took a double take at that. T1? For video?

Does that still happen?

I remember the massive boost getting a T1 at work was, in 2001.

Thanks, that was a dumb mistake on my part... And a mistake I wouldn’t make if I could rely on a third party to build and run a datacenter for me. I’m not interested in building a datacenter.
