Thats fine for downstream, or those close to the exchange. Personally, I 
find 200 - 500 kbps fairly limiting on the upstream, and there would be 
many in the population getting sub-5 Mbps, or in a corner of their ESA 
too far for the DSL signal to travel at all, or in RIM hell with no 
available port, who would feel they have no prospect of getting anything 
better.

Taking an 'I'm allright Jack, bugger you' approach isn't one I'm 
comfortable with.

Just sayin' :-)
