To comment we have demostrated in real world conditions that users can
download at 6.3K using compression on an actual 54666 connection using x2.
The normal connection is 52000 to 53333 with over 95% of users using this
technology, that are not behind a C-SLIC wiring configuration, connecting
at or above 48000.

This is true. In our coverage area the teleco plant is built to either a
12K or 24K plant configuration. In the 24K plant configuration if the
subscriber is receiving their pairs on older 20-22AWG wiring it is great.
If they have newer 24 gage then we have seen a slight fall off in speeds.
