Has any one done a "if you talk for 10 minutes it takes this much 
bandwidth" test, or isn't it as simple as that?
Having to get another ADSL connection is a bit of a bummer, we have 
plenty of copper in the building so it's not a technical issue, but I 
suppose having a 512K symmetrical plan is a bit cheaper than a full 
blown ADSL2+ connection.
