How much faster is T1 compared to Cable or DSL?

I need a CREDIBLE source for this. It doesn’t have to be exact, an approximate figure will do. I need to be able to describe the comparison to a non-techie and I need a citable source.

(I myself am quite computer literate, so you don’t have to “dumb it down” to answer the question for me. I just have to describe it to someone that thinks AOL Dialup is a satisfactory internet service).

  1. Much faster, bandwidth.com has a speed test and calculator to help put this into a graphical context.

  5. depends on the type of DSL you get. basic date rate is 128KB

    T1 is 1.544MB

    But as with any ISP, you will never get that data rate, due to over head.
