You don't have to use up all the 155Mbps - this is just the clock speed,
and actual VC bandwidth is what they should charge you for - at least this
is the way we do it in Poland. So, you can have the 155Mpbs ATM
connection, but an E1 virtual circuit set up as your uplink. Then, your
provider would do policing on their switches to enforce that speed.
