That's the crunch (1.5/512) ... it's actually the 512 which is relevent. Virtually all DSL in the UK is a wholesale product from BT (they have about 2 million customers, Easynet who local loop unbundle may have 20,000, the rest of the providers maybe another 10,000 between them).
All BT ADSL is 256K upstream, all BT DSL is contented (in theory 20:1 and 50:1, but actually a lot less than that), there are a few providers doing their own contention over BT's product.
However the 256K upstream is still the limiting factor, so you can get one, and MAYBE two VoIP lines over it. If BT would up the upstream to 512, you could probaly get 4 out of it ....
We haven't set it all up yet, but for our new UK office we've gone with ADSL from Andrews & Arnold (http://www.aaisp.net/) who will let you bond 2 ADSL lines together to get 512 upstream. We only moved in a couple of days ago so I haven't had a chance to set it all up yet :-(
