complete bull. Both of the calculations came above 10GBs, this also
applies to cable. I reckon we should spread a partition around and try to
get unlimited ADSL. Anyway this is just my opinions and another few
useless bytes of cyberspace.

Some time back some sats were posted which suggested that if wholesale
international bandwidth were to be fully utilised 24/7 it would cost about
0.25c/mb. If connection speeds are increased then the pressure on the
international bandwidth will increase during peak hours and there would be
less traffic at non-peak times, bad use of bandwidth.
Now, if my ISP/Telecom would open up ADSL to full speed at say 2-6am and
charge 1c per MB for excess volume I would be very happy.
At the moment I download about 4gig/month (hitting 300mb on the
occaisional day) with a 56k POT modem. I should have ADSL (the free 10gig
account) at the end of the month.
