Well many ISPs nowadays employ additional traffic shapers upstream of the
dslam/MSAN, and it is this shaper's set-rate we would need to have. All we know
is that this needs to be <= sync but the details differ. Also we need
information about per packet overhead which again is not easily available for
end-users. IMHO our best bet would be to get regulatory agancies to force ISPs
to make this information easily available to end-users so that customers can
actually compare different offers realistically, but I am not holding my breath
for this to happen in my lifetime...
