So the pr0n should look smooth. Hows does CNN load in?

Seriously, a 10Mb input pipe is nearly useless as all the big providers
that have a bigger pipe throttle connections to avoid overloading data
suckers. Having multiple people behind your cable modem hitting
different sites would let the big sites load out full speed and still
saturate the smaller sites. So how fast does /. load in now? Or better,
a distro CD iso from a high-speed source (not GaTech. They throttle
pretty hard for off campus).
