In france, it's 16 kBytes, so 128kbits. (in french we have 2 very differents
word : bit and octet, so we can't make a mistake like i did in english ;-)

How reliable is dsl though for running servers over!?</font></font></blockquote>
Anyway, i think the reliability is the reliability of your ISP. The dsl technology
is better than cable one, as the bandwidth is not shared between users like
with cable.<br>
If you ISP can guarantee a minimum bandwith, then you can do it.<br>
If not (like here in france. The best ISP guarantee 1kB ;-) minimum), then
you must choose wether to take the risk or not ;-)<br>
<br>
My ISP (nerim, small only-DSL ISP), does not guarantee anything, but everybody
is satisfied with it. In 6 months of DSL, i've only have had half a day with
problems.<br>
