    They may be configured so that the adsl line itself will train up and connect at a higher speed than sold, but the actually data rate that you can download stuff it will be as advertised, either by limiting this in their network or through adsl overhead.

    Eircom's 'business' services both train up at 1024, and the 512 service is 'data' limited.

    The overhead for adsl is about 90% due to using ATM. So you would need a ~560k line to get 512k data.

    Either way, I do believe that having it train at a higher rate is a good thing.

    Ya interesting enough as far as my m8s online told me 64kb/s (dividing by 8 normally brings the dl speed)should be my maximum dl speed but I can get 65 if the site has enough bandwidth...which I attribute to the bit extra that ESAT gave me
