Out of idle curiosity: have you actually measured data-transfer?
I pay for 6Mbit/s but get only 3Mbit/s. Of course, all kinds of people want
to sell me flat rates with "up to 16 Mbit/s" - but when I ask them to give
me a written statement that I >will < be able to use at least a 6 Mbit/s
line, I never ever hear of them again.
God, how I hate advertisements with "up to" or "starting from"...
It's a bit like trying to sell a 40 year old VW beetle and advertising that
it will be able to travel at speeds >up to< 800.000 km/h...
Incindentally it actually does travel this fast provided you look at it from
the center of our galaxy. ;-) The actual speed and direction of it relative
to your own street can be seen as a mere pertubation in this case.
Everything just depends on your standpoint...
(For the more conventionally minded resellers of used cars: we can safely
assume that any car can travel at speeds of up to 200 km/h, albeit briefly.
Just push it off the cliff of your choice.)
