I say DSL has no "multi-service" (or very limited) capabilities. There isn't much in terms of QoS, LFI or other voice/video tools. Plus there is no QoS across the DSL network (if over Internet) and no standard nation-wide (no National provider).
If you say, there is no voice going across network, or video, then you are doing your client a dis-service by providing no upgrade path towards that eventual path.
