Re: Are we ready for 10 Mbps ?

If you get a browser such as opera that shows the speed at bottom and combine with something like netlimiter that has a graph you can see where browsing spikes, for me I rarely see spikes above 512kbit speeds when browsing simply because it is usually loading loads of small images rather then 1 file. Of course the avg user also tends to download small files on occasion such as pdf documents and software patches so these benefit from the higher speeds. When it comes to 10mbit the main benefiters will be multi user environments and people who download large files and/or streaming.
