My home cable is about 1.4Mbit down/1Mbit up -- nice, fast and fairly reliable. I get charged $30/month--not bad!.

At school we have a crappy fractional T1 that is shared to our entire district (about 900+ computers). During school hours it is really slow, but once everyone leaves for the day, its nice and quick.

In my office we have a full T1 (1.544Mbits) with a backup DSL line that is 512/512 and a basic 128kbps ISDN line as a total failsafe. It is really nice to have a fiber line sitting right next to your desk--no complaints (really expensive, thank god I don't pay the bill on that one).
