Well, IMHO, where they went wrong with ISDN, was for a long time, noone
knew what was happening with ISDN, was it coming, was it not..Noone waited
around for things to settle..

I thought that it was about half that . I could be wrong though..
No the standard is "supposed" to be 8Mb down and 1/2Mb up.

Yup, there is also a www.adsl.org site. It gives a good overview on the
technology used. Also have a look in the Data Communications magazine, or
on their website. They give alot of info on ADSL/ ISDN comparions.
