Why would I want to pay 40,000 a month for an OC3 connection when it would be only
marginally faster than my $70 a month 1.5 megabit DSL?


Marginally faster?? Try 30 times faster.

I've used an OC3 at a server farm, and most commercial
websites will not even vend data to an individual IP any faster than 80k a second, no
matter how fast your connection. That's only half the bandwith of my DSL


This is not true.
