RE: Yahoo & Softbank to start ADSL service

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

multiply by 100... ATM over OC3 would be 155 megabits.. 1.54mbit is the
standard for a T1.  Although I guess you could run ATM over a T1.. I've seen
it run over a 300 baud modem link (some dumbass who just wanted to do it for
the geek-out factor, of course.  and it wasn't me :) )

You may want to look into ATM connections, providers in the uk are just
starting to offer consumer ATM connections. Also, if you have a large
amount of free bandwidth on your fibre, you can get upto 622Mbps, however
that is a little extreme and very expensive. The standard rate for and ATM
connection is 1.55Mbps IIRC.
