In this specific case (when it comes to my area) they are offering a
fixed IP address, and (as you say) shared upstream bandwidth. Judging
from the effective upstream bandwidth a friend is experiencing with
the same company in the LA basin (where there are many subscribers to
the net service), effective upstream bandwidth usually runs
equivalently to a dedicated bonded ISDN pair (128Kbps).
As happens said friend is also running a web site from his home
machine -- thru-put is quite respectable.

Yup, but this is one of the better offerings AFACT.
