Bux re perspective Bux wrote... If that speed was doubled to make it feel "zippy" then it would be 100,000 bps which would be 24 users downloading streaming video and audio non-stop. But that's not what people browsing the internet tend to do all the time. They are checking stocks, news, weather, sending and reading e-mail or messages like I'm doing right now. So I think there could be 100 times the number of users or 2400 people browsing the internet etc. instead of only the 700 voice users chatting away. Your point regarding the dis-continuous useage of the service is well taken. I'm not sure I agree with your assumptions, specifically "I think there could be 100 times the number of users or 2400 people browsing the internet" I think they are a little high. Are these figures from a network model? w
