Keep in mind that a 1.5mbps T1 is a full duplex circuit, 1.5 up and 1.5
down at the same time, you need a 3mbps DSL line to get 1.5mbps up and
1.5mbps down at the same time. Voip traffic requires 2 way data streams,
wheras TYPICAL internet use is more down than up.

I see by your 713 area code you are in houston, cbeyond offers a 5
line/1.5mbps integrated voip solution over t1 for ~$500/month. That is
about the same cost as a dedicated data t1 from most providers.
