transfer rates are effected by traffic fluctations at the peering points and points between as well so the only sure fire test would be to download something from a localy hosted server at the ISP and see what the transfer rate is without any other users on the LAN

512Kbs is not that high of a bandwidth for 60 users considering the maximum transfer rate without overhead is around 64k/s so basically if every user was doing something on the connection at the same moment its therortically possible each user would only have 1k/s to play with. Also consider the fact that its DSL and when you are uploading the download speed will drop as well if you have saturated your upstream connection.

I would look at the outbound / inbound traffic firstly before looking at the ISP.
