bandwidth speeds running at 8 mps.

very interesting post indeed.
ive a friend who works for BT, he told me that in england that they have bandwidth speeds running at 8 mps. when i heard that ive never raised my brow higher.
point is, an average home user doesnt really use up that much bandwidth in another boring normal day. so whats the point in leaving bandwidth unused?
anyway i pity that unlimited users got a bad deal on the bandwidth when the 2mbps happened. but 2mbps on 500 is not fun either.
