      Hello,

      The company I work for is about to open a 3 person office about 1 mile away. I intend to use PFSense to connect it to the main office for file shares and Exchange.

      The main office has your basic T1 internet connection with 8 users.

      My question is would I be best served with
      1. 1.5 SDSL
      2.Cable
      3.ADSL with 5/512 connection

      I'm not able to buy a T1 for the remote office.

        For office to office connections I would go with a symetric line if possible. You have to consider that the upstream of one location is the downstream of the other one. So for example if you have 2x that ADSL 5/512 you would only have a 512/512 link between the offices.
