| Re: um, aren't there bigger pipes than T1's?? Most DS3s are fiber these days, which they said is hard to come by (or atleast harder than they thought). Even so, DS3s aren't installed in just a few days, even it is readily available.  | |

| Well it is not the fact that they can't get more T1's or DS3, it is the fact that these lines are very expensive. A T1 for data might only support 5 users if they are using high bandwidth. A T1 costs the providers on average $350 a month, so it is not cost effective for busy cell sites. All the wireless companies are trying to push out microwave as much as possible since they can support OC3 speeds or faster without a monthly line cost.
