True but you need to look at the actual speed of a DSL line. a 1.5m/
384k DSL line is actually 1.7m/467k so a chunk of that ATM cell tax
is already factored into the speed you buy from your DSL provider.
If you get an integrated DSL modem/router like a Zoom X5 you can see
the actual speed of the link.

For VoIP the cell tax is much larger. In the example, each RTP packet
contains 20 useful bytes and 40 bytes IP overhead. 60 bytes doesn't
fit in one cell, so you end up with 106 bytes at the ATM layer to
transport 20 bytes of G.729. The ATM-caused overhead is thus 46 bytes
per voice packet, thereby making the needed bandwidth 77% larger.
All in all VoIP over ADSL adds 430% overhead, when using G.729 and
20ms packets. Lovely, isn't it?
