Perhaps I could suggest you phrase the question to networks slightly
differently.
Can you ask how much bandwidth is provisioned per end user within the ATM
network ?

Traffic shaping is employed on router high speed interfaces (OC3 etc) to
avoid excessive discards within the ATM network (this is normal design
practice). Effectively this tells the router to treat the 155MB pipe as if
it were say a 10MB pipe (or whatever PVC/SVC has been set to).
I know I have over simplified this but hopefully this partially explains why
dl speed is less than 6MB.

other night and got peaks around 1.5 - 2Mbps. My total for this month is
620Mb so far.
