        Most likely.

        When getting "business" DSL, they assume you want SDSL, where both 
up and downlinks are the rated the same speed, while "residential" DSL is 
ADSL, where downlink is fast and uplink is slow.   As such, SDSL is more 
expensive than ADSL.

        Also, for businesses they will most likely give you a block of 
statics rather than dynamics or the evils of PPPOE.
