I don't think so...  DSL (digital subscriber link) can handle transit 
packets of 64Kb/channel.  As a DSL line (usually one B and one D 
channel) can transit 64Mb/sec, and an ADSL (asynchronous) can handle 
multiple B channels at once via multiplexing, and 1.5 - 3.2 megabits 
without much difficulty.  However, full through-put depends on the 
number of users accessing the line/node at a given moment.  Usually, 
ADSL packages are 128Mb/sec (2B, 1D channels), and via multiplexing, can 
transit the low end of the DSL spectrum (1.5Mb) fairly easily...  And, 
they don't use a "modem," the use a "terminal adapter..."
