I would watch out on the ADSL lines; most carriers I have dealt with in the past on these types of circuits fall under the residential category and there for do not have the same type of SLA's (24x7 support or response window) that say an SDSL business account would. Depending on the required uptime you may want to stick with SDSL (Usually 2.0Mbs Up/Down) if you go with any of the xDSL types of circuits and verify with the Telco that their SLA fit your business needs. Of course if cost is not a object and you require a strong SLA for the circuit I would stick with a T1 or even a reasonably priced Fractional T3 assuming you have or can get the equipment.

Reasons: a) you can get 10-30MBps on wireless vs. 1.4Mbps for T1. b) if you already have an antenna or other high-point, you can own the wireless network for about what the Telco would charge for a T-1 over about a year. If you really want a wire circuit, for long-haul or short-haul, consider multiple xDSL connections. For example, under the current pricing we are seeing, we can install 8 ADSL circuits for about what one T-1 would cost. With 8 ADSLs, you would be getting >10 Mbps inbound and 2.8Mbps outbound -- equivalent to 8 inbound T-1s and 2 outbound T-1s for the same price as a single T-1. Just some thoughts.
