in 1995 i had a internet backbone connection with att or bell, it was t1 it cost me over 1000 dollars a month what was the bandwidth of this T1 connection

A T1 line in 1995 had a fixed, standardized bandwidth of:

🔹 1.544 Mbps (megabits per second), symmetric

• 1.544 Mbps download
• 1.544 Mbps upload

That speed never varied — it was dedicated, always-on bandwidth.

🧠 How that 1.544 Mbps was structured

A T1 is made up of 24 digital voice/data channels (DS0s):

• Each channel: 64 kbps
• 24 × 64 kbps = 1.536 Mbps
• The remaining ~8 kbps was used for framing/overhead, giving the total 1.544 Mbps

So:

• Raw line rate: 1.544 Mbps
• Usable payload: ~1.536 Mbps

💰 Why it cost ~$1,000+/month

In 1995, that price made sense because:

• It was dedicated (not shared like cable/DSL)
• It had SLA guarantees (uptime, latency)
• It often included:
• CSU/DSU hardware
• Carrier-grade routing
• Priority backbone access via AT&T or Bell affiliates
• It was the standard for:
• ISPs
• Universities
• Radio stations
• Early data centers
• Businesses hosting servers (before colo was common)

The "Christian theory" is not that you "wake up in heaven if I have a good life." Being a Christian means accepting that the claims made in the Bible are true--that God exists; that he created us; that we have a moral responsibility to him; that we have personally failed to fulfill his moral commands; and that he has solved that problem in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Converting means intellectually accepting that these claims are true and applying them to yourself. And since God exists as a personal being, not just a concept, talk directly to him as you work through the process.

Rubio, right on point!

Most of the 'experts' people have on television, I watch these experts and it's clown hour.

It's pretty straightforward. Only well-sponsored elites can afford to support Communism. Everyone else has to work for a living.
