actually, I understand it quite well (we sell DSL frame relay equipment).
DSL is either aggregated on a Frame line (where a few hundred circuits are
brought in on a T1 or lots more on a T3), or on ATM. Although you have 2
pipes on your end, you only have one on the upstream end, so all you are
doing is adding more statistically multiplexed traffic to an already
overloaded pipe. Kind of like if you have 10 lanes merging into 1...adding
an 11th lane is not going to make much difference.
