An ISP of their own (was RE: [rescue] Being jobless)

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

It likely is HDSL.

All the T1s at the ISP I was a cofounder of and worked at for
three years (followed by three years working for the new owners)
was delivered either over copper HDSL, or (eventually) by fiber
mux.

I think the first T1 we had was delivered as two pair to our office...
Later units they actually had a small box on the wall with an HDSL
card in it.
