The Cacheflow may be (probably is) on the DS3, but as a DSL subscriber
you are not -- you're on a DSL connection limited to much lower speeds.
That your DSL connection transits the same DS3 doesn't change the fact
that you are on a much thinner pipe (your DSL connection).

p.s.  I personally would avoid any ISP so clueless as not to have
redundant/backup transit.
