Comcast Business vs T1 for office

In trying to decide between a T1 and something like comcast business, I'm just trying to gauge opinion.

We need internet connectivity for 10 people, VOIP phones for all 10 with their own numbers as well as an additional line for the front desk.

A local place has told us a T1 is the only solution given those needs.

Also, if I upped the number from 10 to 20, would this change your opinion?

Thanks!

The thing with Comcast is you'll get a lot more download bandwidth but less upload bandwidth than the T1.  The additional upload bandwidth from the T1 will help with scaling the voice traffic.  In my opinion and based on experience, the T1 is going to be much more reliable but you will pay more so you need to weight cost vs reliability/stability.  You could always start with Comcast and if it doesn't work out, pay a little more for a T1.
