Hi z, <How can one user use up that much bandwidth all by himself?> There are two main uses for the Internet, stock trading is one of them. The guy in Fremont wasn't a day trader. You figure it out. <Not to sound paranoid but what was the internet designed for in the first place and when?> You're not paranoid, they are out to get you. DarpaNet was turned on for the first time in 1969. Purpose: provide a communications channel for the Federal Government, especially DOD, in case of a nuclear attack. Ry

other interesting points to consider...the internet actually restricts the breadth of information--portals are the problem velocity is restricted by server speed, which can be 'fixed' messages readable by anybody, as they could reside on thousands of servers the internet is 'big brother' paid by the little guy ironic, but even then, i think that the little guy may still be ahead as long as you remember the possibilities, both ways just a thought ynot ;)
