"What is t3?"

Searching about, I see it is a fast broadband sort of thing. Am I right? Does it cost like £10,000 a month? No? Am I just making it up now?

Help much appreciated.

There's a bloke living across the yard on a farmhouse near my grandparents and I think he's got something like that.
Although I heard it costs something like £20,000.. Maybe thats just for the installation but I can't really remember. It was something like a 10mb line.

Maybe I'm on about a completely different thing. But I saw £10,000 and it made me think of something expensive.. Very expensive..

Got from webopedia

A dedicated phone connection supporting data rates of about 43 Mbps. A T-3 line actually consists of 672 individual channels, each of which supports 64 Kbps.
T-3 lines are used mainly by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connecting to the Internet backbone and for the backbone itself.

T-3 lines are sometimes referred to as DS3 lines.

From V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms June 2002 [vera]:

T3
[digital] Transmission link 3 [44.736 Mbps] (DS3)

IIRC it's AMAZINGLY expensive.

It is a leased line I think. Ask google.

I beleive it is a satalite connection type, but don't hold me to that. Any more than that I don't know.
