As I see it what we are being told is that adsl must run both directions at
the slower of the two asymetrical speeds, Dan then says "I don't see a
problem with that" Neither do I if that speed is enough for your needs.
However if you want some thing faster office to office then SDSL will be
faster on the VPN but slower on the general net stuff.

Thats the trade off, faster VPN or faster general net.

Ummm, am I missing something? Even though the links are
asymetrical, they are each governed by the slower link. Hence the link
between the two offices runs at the slower speed. I don't see a problem.
