6. There's B-ISDN (sort off)
-Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network, basically a high-speed ISDN line (which is a point-to-point service like a dial up, but running on faster, digital kit). Although to the best of my knowledge, it only ever existed on paper and was shelved when cable & DSL lines took off. I guess it might have been ressurected.

Or they might be talking about a DSL connection, which will wrangle anything up to 10Mb/s over your standard copper wires depending on how good they are (in Europe, each installation is checked by an engineer to find the maximum reliable speed).

Or they might be full of shit, always an option for a Telco. :)
