T1= 1544kbps
T2=6312 kbps
T3= 44736 kbps
Relevant to Australia are:
E1 = 2,048 Mbit/s
E2 = 4 x E1 = 8.448 Mbit/s
E3 = 4 x E2 = 34.368 Mbit/s
E4 = 4 x E3 = 139.264 Mbit/s
E5 = 4 x E4 = 565 Mbit/

T3 is fastest but you want to go with OC now, such as OC3

I've never heard of this OC (except the show), and I never knew the difference between T1 and E1 until now. E1 is just used for Austraila?

E1 is used for Europe and Austraila and possible Asian countries. There isn't much difference between a Tx and a Ex, Txs being slightly faster.

OC Def
Short for Optical Carrier, conforming to the used to specify the speed of fiber optic networks SONET standard. The table shows the speeds for common OC levels. OC = Speed
OC-1 = 51.85 Mbps
OC-3 = 155.52 Mbps
OC-12 = 622.08 Mbps
OC-24 = 1.244 Gbps
OC-48 = 2.488 Gbps
OC-192 = 9.952 Gbps
OC-255 = 13.21 Gbps

Why the hell would an individual need a fiber optic internet connection? Optical fiber cable should only be used in the backend configurations of networks.

Speed of course. For instance, if your company needed to connect to the downtown office and transfer large amounts of CAD work or execute applications on a server there you may want to consider an OC connection instead of a T1.
