I seem to get 80kb/s fairly consistently, and could probably get 160kb/s over 
exactly the same copper if I wanted to (Telstra OnRamp Home Highway). I don't 
think Telstra thought as hard about ORHH as they normally do, and (not that 
it hasn't been decimated by ADSL anyway) it's eaten into their ISDN sales 
somewhat.
