The bottleneck point for the ATHM cable configuration is in the last mile - the local node.

I'm not sure where the bottleneck will be for DSL systems. I suspect the net (ATHM uses a proprietary parallel net, by the way) itself will be the choke point. Although, I have read stats that show some Central offices have as many as 10,000 phone lines coming in. The access multiplexors (the point at which DSL lines are shared) required for that would fill a large building. Just think of the heat generated by all those DSLAMS!
