There is a difference, mostly in latency and possible b/w ranges.

You can get ADSL anywhere from 256k to 1.5M fairly cheaply.  This will 
have an average latency around 30-40ms.  Generally these connections 
are not treated as mission-critical by Qwest, and can have acceptable 
burps in connectivity.

A T1 line costs a lot more, and can range from 56k to 1.5M.  These 
typically have very low latency (0-1ms).  These have extremely high 
availability, and amazing uptime.

A DS3 costs even more, but is capable of b/w up to 45M (IIRC).  Super 
low latency.  same high availability.  Common for large companies, and 
ISPs.
