Humm..... It could be that the T1 salesperson was selling me a bill of goods
BUT when I check my DSL connection speed and I am the only user in my office
I get varian results depending on the time of day I do the checking.
Here is a couple of resources on checking your connection speed:

I have SDSL and the bandwidth I have represent the MAXIMUM bandwidth they
will provide my connection. It does not mean that I will have this bandwidth
all the time. It depends on the traffic in my area. I do not have a DSL
Modem I have a SDSL router. DSL Modem is a very different technology that
SDSL. Those of you that have a fiberoptic connection such as T1 will enjoy
your connection speed all the time.
If your customer already have a contract with a DSL provider they are bound
by that contract. You have nothing to loose by trying it. If it proves to
be too slow and you are already at the maximum bandwidth for DSL you can
always shell out the bucks and go T1.
