a complete broadband dilettante here 
can i just ask as someone who's never experienced broadband, what are the real speeds like? for example, how fast would downloads and uploads be with 512 kbps?
with my 56k modem, the worst connection speed has been around 12000bps, and the highest - 48000bps. standard http downloads would be max 6-7 kbps, while with p2p applications like edonkey it could reach 30kbps.
is it the same with a broadband modem? can the speed go lower than 500kbps if it's a 512kbps modem? and why? what are the true connection and download/upload speeds?
also, what a 512kbps broadband would be best for (from your own experience, please)? viewing videoclips, playing games, listening to internet radio stations, using videophones/webcams?...
