The way the internet adds are getting and the size of web pages, Also, you are right, many will not regularly download 180mg, but the way the internet adds are getting and the size of web pages, it is going to take a bigger and bigger pipe to do normal browsing. I have a T1 (1.54mb) line at work and it gets beat up with all of the images that web advertisers are throwing out. Technology is not making surfing more efficient, it is just putting more out for us to have to pull down..... I couldn't have said it better myself.Also try to make the cable t.v analogy.Why do most people pay $50+ for cable t.v ?Because the old time networks just don't do it for us anymore.AOL will have to go faster anyway and everyone not just a few will need faster access to even be able to use the internet...........TRY SEARCHING THE INTERNET WITH A 9600 OR 14.4 MODEM.......ENOUGH SAID
