A bonded T1 line is several T1 lines bonded together into a single big pipe connecting to the internet. A single T1 line has an upload and download speed of 1.55 Mbps, a bonded t1 has the upload and download speed multiple of that of a T1 line. So a 3x bonded T1 has a speed of 4.5 Mbps. The most common bonded T-1 speeds are 3 Mbps, 4.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 7.5Mpbs, and 9Mbps - and these are symmetrical speeds - meaning the upload speed is as high as the download speed.
Businesses choose a bonded T1 over a DSL line when connectivity is of essence for business continuity. A bonded T1 is not shared, has a guaranteed speed, and comes with a SLA (Service Level Agreement). These SLAs differ per provider, and cover things like uptime, mean time to repair, latency etc.
