Well, to be pedantic, it's the copper that's achieving that speed, not the
phone itself. And I think the numbers are 3Mbps/800Kbps at the top end.
300Mbps would be lovely but I think I'd want to see some proof.

I have Sympatico DSL at home, and the phone and the Internet work at the
same time, essentially by splitting the frequency domain. Voice gets 300Hz
to 3.3KHz, and data gets the higher frequencies.

Sure.

If istop.com is OK with all that, then go for it.
