Actually, Telecom currently limit the DSL rate based on the plan that
you're on, and 2560Kbit is the standard figure for a 2Mbit plan, that
doesn't mean thats all your line is capable of.

I also get exactly 2560Kbit DSL rate whereas on the previous plan I was on
that didnt rate limit the DSL rate it was 7616Kbit.

Likewise 256Kbit plans limit the downstream DSL rate to 320Kbit.
