There are about 200 people with T1 rate cable network connections already in Cambridge, England, being a test site for a new Set Top Box technology. In this case it isn't a traditional T1, but rather an ATM link which happens to run at the same speed. The T1 rate is mainly used for multi-media video type applications, but the company I was talking to was thinking of providing IP access also as a supplimentary service.
