I have to say I was somewhat surprised that ADSL service could get away that little backbone bandwith. But this simply shows that todays internet surfing gets away with pretty little bandwith even if you have fast local access. I think a major cause for this is the inefficiency of todays http protocol (this is expected to be corrected with a future version of this protocol). The most important factor is probably a slow response of the servers. A overcrowded internet backbone leads to simply unacceptable service. You send a request then wait 1/2 to 1 minute to see if your packet reached its target and send it again if you get no response. The good backbone providers are carful to assure that they do not get into that situation. Andreas
