You're right. Many mux's contain "Low Speed" (T-2) cards or segments. It's just that no one orders a T-2 anymore. I don't think it's even an available option on any of the Carriers order forms any more. I would be surprised if anyone had seen a request for one in the last 20 years.

I suppose ordering a T2 circuit would be like using a $2.00 bill to pay for something.

In the Telco world T2 (TDM) still looks to be an “orderable option.” (I was surprised to find coding that was still valid for it... Who knew! LOL ) I’ve NEVER seen an order for a T2 and honestly would not know of a way to even deliver it to a customer/end-user.

The SONET equivalent of T2 is VT6 (virtual tributary) 6.912 Mbs would be a valid option but I'd only expect to see it being used between two carriers (IXC’s, LECs, CLECs etc) … Or as Dex mentioned for internal usage only, in order to drop down a MUX low-speed card (quad-card.)

call me weird, but I spend two dollar bills regularly. I've found that I get better service because the money I spend is memorable. Not to mention that because I use twos that I also tip slightly more because of it which in turns leads to better service when I eat out. Everyone remembers the guy spending Tom.

Where do I get them? The commercial teller at most non-FCU banks. Though my credit union stocked them before I joined anyway.
