Notes regarding h-8000 and b-8000 packages: These packages are "rate adaptive" connections, meaning that the quoted bandwidth is a maximum. Depending on the condition of your telephone line and the distance from your local exchange, the bandwidth available to you may vary. In a trial of 15,000 users, the average downstream bandwidth was around 6 mbps.
