It's 50 times faster than typical broadband at 100Mb/s, so presumably typical broadband is now 2Mb/s. (I wonder what proportion of Cornwall can get that?) Yet something that takes 15 minutes to download at 100Mb/s would take over five hours on standard broadband, which makes it only around 20 times faster, afaics, and would make standard broadband 5Mb/s. Either that or BT have put them on a badly over-contended network... Still, I wonder if they'll let you run a bittorrent client? :) James -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
