You are correct, from what I have heard. They 'Police' the link rather 
than 'Shape' the link, i.e. once the AVC limit is reached (12/1, 25/5 
etc), the packets on top are dropped rather than queued for delivery. 
This means NBNCo's routers would have to do a lot less work, so to avoid 
packet loss, dropped packets etc for customers who max out their link it 
is a good idea to do queuing on your own termination end.
