DHCP ; static will be available "later" and won't use the same kind of endpoint
(this according to our telco provider)

EXPN?  Do you mean routable addresses at your end that map to 
yourhost.yourdomain.tla?

>what kind of upstream bandwidth, as in numbers instead of "optimal"?

The DSL is rate-adaptive.  If you mostly download, it will adapt to give
the majority of your bandwidth to downloading; if you then start pushing more
than you pull, it will adapt to uploading.  I'll see if i can find specs for
minimum fractions in either direction...

>(since apparently services are allowed) 

For the consumer grade DSL incoming well-known services may be filtered; 
the later-on SDSL product will allow full range of incoming services.
