Not much. If you get ADSL, BT put a filter on both ends of the line,
then patch across from the exchange end filter to the DSLAM. Even
assuming they patched all the lines at the exchange into the DSLAM,
there would not be an ATM path built for the line until you put in an
order. Personally, I doubt they have as many DSLAM ports as exchange
lines, though I woudn't be surprises if they put exchange end filters on
all the lines.
