To Clarify, i've always understood Jetstream in NZ to be
RA-ADSL (RADSL?) - Rate Adaptive, (Asyncronous) Digital Subscriber Line.
Aka, the downstream rate is rate-adaptive based on the line capabilities.

Rate Limiting is imposed at a higher layer. I don't see Telecom
indicating that'll change, more that theyll increase the rate limit
thresholds.

But without movement on our data caps, as Ian says, its just going to be
'that much easier' to hit em.
