One word of caution on that - we had a customer who got 4 separate 1M/1.5M ADSL circuits - all to the same DSLAM. Ended up that the telco had only provisioned that DSLAM with a single T1, and was apparently unable to upgrade that, negating any advantage to the multiple DSL's. It was a remote DSLAM, not in a CO, btw. If you don't have a point to point circuit, make sure the upstream has sufficient bandwidth to support what you are ordering. ** Reply to message from "Jon R.
