Gee, all that speed just to reach GeoCity's Commodore 64 server.

When you get into the speed ranges we're all talking about, it helps to remember that when you're running THAT fast, your speed will be that of whatever the distant server is. All the bandwidth in the world won't speed up all the slow, crappy servers there are on the net.

That's a good point. I think the point of the original post was bandwidth within the internal home network -- not the Internet. But you're right: 11Mbps versus 100Mbps doesn't amount to a big deal if you're only using a 1Mbps broadband connection to your ISP.
