the one reason you might care is if you've set simultaneous upload limits. i have and mine is usually set to 5. if a 56ker takes a slot he can be on it for 5-6 hours getting one wheezingly slow file. whereas the same slot taken by dslers could yield dozens of completions which again go right back onto the network for others to share (theoretically). i set no bottom speed caps and, with my mix of slow and high bandwidth users uploading from me, I avg 100 uploads a day. if they were all 56kers the totals might be 95% less. it’s not an issue for me in general but it can’t be argued that the networks aren’t better off with faster users.
