You can get a t1 for home use, but it isn't pratical. A t1 contains 24 channels. Each channel can either be used for 1 phone line or 64 Kbps of Internet bandwidth. A business will use a t1 because they can have 8 phone lines and still have 1024 Kbps of Internet (16 X 64 Kbps) for their office for about $400-$500 (In a major city). This is more affordable than having 8 regular phone lines brought in with DSL for Internet.
A t3 costs several thousand dollars a month and is not cost effective for a home user. Not to mention you will never even get close to using that much bandwidth. It's overkill.
If a t1 is used only for Internet you will get 1.544 Mbps of bandwidth. You can get 4 Mbps+ from a cable Internet connection. Stick with your cable or DSL service for the home. If you can't get either in your area and you don't mind spending a couple hundred a month talk to you local phone company about getting an ISDN line.

T1 and T3 internet services are extremely expensive ($300+ a month) and is not practical for home use. In fact, most computers would not be able to achieve the speed capable by the internet due to lacking in system resources. Therefore, broadband should be the highest speed you need.
However, if you really have your mind set on getting T3 or T1 internet, you will have to contact a MAJOR telephone company as small ISPs will not offer the service.

it's to do with speed. T1 is about 1024kbps whereas T3 is a heavy duty connection usually found in corporations and businesses.

T1 is 1.44 Mbps, your DSL or Cable (download) is probably faster and cheaper. T1 can cost $399/month.
Why so much? Its synchronous. Meaning you have 1.44 Mbps download and UPLOAD. Cable and DSL are asynchronous and have much slower upload speeds. So unless you need great upload speed, cable or DSL should suffice.
T3 is 45Mbps. More than ANY home user could want or need.
Lastly, both T1/T3 require CSU/DSU and high performance routers.

If you need a T1 or T3 your are probably in business ... most ISPs can provide them or refer you to where you can obtain the service.

You can use either one at home.
Contact your local supplier, (telephone company?) to find out the cost etc.
