The speed of the net would better increase too I hope! I have a 10M/bit connection here and I don't get close to it all too often. Usually downloads are around the 200-600kb/s but every now and then I may hit 800-900. The most I've ever seen it is in the high 900's but you can still get let down by very slow speeds at times. There's nothing like having a super fast connection and be struggling to break the 5kb/s mark!

I'm sure that with the increase of download speed, the speed of many sites on the net is soon to speed up also but the net is a big place and I don't believe there will be too much of a drastic change to it's speed too soon! Hopefully I'm wrong there though!
