While not really having an answer to the hows or whys of the apparent lack
of speed, I find myself needing to ask this question:

Why not just purchase a DSL router, which will store your authentication
information, and let it handle all of the negotiation with the upstream
host?

As I'm running multiple hosts on my connection, I have all of my traffic
passing from my network, through an IPCop firewall, to an ActionTec GT724R
(used to use a Netopia Cayman router), and I'm getting as much bandwidth
as I should.

And, this way, I'm not stuck having to deal with "Sorry, we don't support
Linux" from the provider, because I'm not using my Linux system to
actually control the connection, itself.
