To elaborate a little, frame is always sold with a Port Speed (peak
burst) and Committed Information Rate (CIR). The CIR is what they
guarantee, and the Port Speed is what they try to sell you on. The
higher CIR's is what substantially increases your cost. The higher port
speed does as well, but from my experience, the CIR is more. A good rep
will convey t his to you, but a bad one might try and sell you "512k
frame connection" but really it only has a 128k CIR. Moral of the
story? Make sure you know your CIR and Port Speed before you sign.

once upon a not so long ago...
Frame Relay bandwidth is/was often sold at peak bursting bandwidth speed
as opposed to typical pipeline. That 128k pipe was really running at
64k. Not a Citrix problem, per se. Make sure you have that spelled out
very clearly by your supplier. Size the pipe to accomodate you std
traffic and your bursty traffic and you'll be fine.
Did I mention not to map client network printers?
