ahhaha: Well, that's what I thought, otherwise why is everyone talking about the amount of server capacity and load balancing gear that's going to be needed as the world migrates to higher bandwidth connections? But I have a cable modem setup, it runs 1.5 Mbps between me and Cablevision, but typically 500 to 650 Kbps on an average web site. Am I a bandwidth hog? How would I slow the thing down even if I wanted to? Seems to me I'll get whatever the loop will give me round trip from me to whatever site I link to? Could be the people with multiple windows open connected to multiple QFeed servers might be creating congestion as well. David T.
