Just to clarify on this situation: I have a cable connection that is rated at 100MB/s at full capacity. I specifically asked what the lowest speed would be, that I could expect to experience, when I took it on from an ADSL2+ connection that I tracked at 8 BYTES/s at one stage, and they said 100Kb/s (really!). I regularly log 40-47Kb/s on updates..
