Now that I do find interesting.

I found, for instance, on Direct Connect, a satellite connection from which I downloaded an mp3 at 70kb/s constant.

So, in theory, if we all had such connections (or better) and found that 200kb/s was the norm, then a 2.5GB download would be no real biggy, would it?

I've probably got another 35 years on this planet: I might just see real broadband yet.
