Very noticeable from my new employer where I've had as quick as 7.7MB/s but most struggle to give over 1.1MB/s (10Mbit), bit of a contrast btw to ntl where I had a phat 10Mbit half-duplex desktop connection and was warned along with the rest of company not to abuse the massive bandwidth *cough* the office had, elite eh?
Proxy hit rate is only going to be 20 - 30% and if not a proxy hit they'll have to download it and will be as subject to off-network issues as a direct connection.
