Do you have any guess why this happens ? I don't know about the
Comstock T1 feed (I assume you mean 56kbps) but most other leased
line feeds were filtered - delivering only what you ordered. Perhaps
this takes too much time ?
Having said that it seems that high-end companies like Reuters now
take a hybrid approach to get their masses of data across and just
use the leased line for feedback. If I remember it correctly you
need a 56kbps, a 9.6kbps and a satellite link for the new Reuters
workstation.
