Which country do *you* live in? According to my data, ADSL has a maximum 
speed of 8 Mbit/sec, and even ADSL2 stops at 12 Mbit/sec. So where on 
God's Earth are you getting 23 Mbit/sec from?

Yes... It strikes me that if you really wanted to do this, you wouldn't 
use BluRay disks, you'd use harddrives. (Much faster to access, and less 
bunky too.)
