T1 in the US is 1.5 Meg, the equivalent to that in the UK is called an E1 which is 2 Meg. We had an E1 installed in the Uk. there are various companies that will do it including BT although I found them a bit pricey. We had AT&T orchestrate ours as we already had a T1 in the US. there are other options such as a factional E1 wich basicly means that you only pay for a portion of the bandwidth and at a later date you could upgrade to use the full 2meg.
Sorry don't know much about T2 and T3.
