Curious, doesn't the A in DSLAM mean ATM?  Also, doesn't the M in DSLAM
mean multiplexor?  Can multiplexors drop packets?

Also, last I checked, the bandwidth in the DSL package is guaranteed
bandwidth between you and your CO.  If your switch is dropping packets,
then that is false advertisement.  Are these ISP's allowed to do that?
