It's been my experience that people who have difficulty writing or speaking
coherently usually also have difficulty with arithmetic. There are
exceptions, but the thing was brought up when I told Brent P what
Sympatico's cap on upload bandwidth was and it contradicted the results of
calculations that others had shared with him.

Hmm.. in theory perhaps, but there've been many times that I've transfered a
few hundred megs of data to someone and ended up with an overall transfer
between 15.7 and 15.9 KB/s. That's close enough to the 16 KB/s advertised as
my maximum to keep me from complaining.

Another thing you might consider is that I never said the data coming in
through the DSL modem was all coming from the same source. If I have three
sources all capable and willing to give me 50 KB/s, it's a pretty safe bet
that my capacity of 1.2 Mbps will be used to its fullest. Once again, I've
seen it happen.
