if you are using the term "marketing thing" in the same way i do, then i 
think you are incorrect there..

Data over voice is just that - Make a ISDN call, get charged voice tariffs 
by telstra, but negotiate with the terminal server for your digital 
connection as normal - Most ISP's use the same access server's for 56k and 
64k connections. Not all support DoV though.

Home Highway ISDN is pretty cheap (about the same price as getting a 
seocnd line installed, IIRC), and even if you dont want to go to the 
hassle of using an ISDN card, or DoV, they tend to work better than a 
plain old phone line for modems (my observations only there)
