Most Wired Country ISPs use PPPoE for authentication. I'm pretty sure the max MTU
for PPPoE is lower then 1500 due to the PPP overhead or some such. A quick search
reveals it's probably 1480 altho a more thorough search is probably in order.

Hope this helps...

P.S. Tony, it's technical, doesn't really appear to be ADSL related but I'll let that slide...
