If you were to set up a looooong download, or use it for web hosting, etc,
you would find that over the period of a day, your  DOWNLOAD throughput
would average out to 256kbps. This is pretty good as people on this list
have said they get closer to 64k.

Now note that the UPLOAD bandwith is already limited to 64k, and quite
likley would be less than that.

If you are going to do web hosting, etc, forget aDSL, and get a frame
relay line.
