I can assure its not the be all and end all
I demand at least 10mbps
...and still wouldn't be happy until 20, would be content with 50 though
But then I am spoilt with a gigabit of connectivity for part of the week...

Very few is probably right. But the important ones (ftp.mirror.ac.uk and ftp.blueyonder.co.uk) do. Infact both will throw out WAY more than that, as both myself and Ignition can prove...
Yes, those all important linux ISOs that everyone claims to sit around all day and night downloading (and uploading?
) can be transferred in under a minute
