Okay, I guess I was wrong about the Firefox optimization thing.

All they did was race downloading the Ubuntu ISO, and then randomly 
selected 3 people to test their connections.

The tests were fairly rudimentary - downloading via HTTP through 
internet explorer. Bell customers only got 10% of their advertised speed 
on the download. I'm sure though, they could all get very close to 
maximum with a bit more refined method of downloading. Wget, BitTorrent, 
or some other form of download manager that packs a punch.

Oh well.
