There's a certain amount that you can download and it's not picked up by the system. I forget what it is, but it's pretty big. I just download the occasional movie/album/program and they're none the wiser!

EDIT: Deleted picture when I realised it shows my company name on it!

Upload speeds may not sound important but they are when you want to take photos/record videos and email them!! Being able to upload 50mb videos in seconds was great.

Great... this was a reply to me wasn't it :p

Oh well, just think of it this way, the upload speeds wont be that fast when you get back here, unless of course you have some crazy plan :p

LOL yes it was :)

And up until recently, I thought upload speeds were useless (unless you were trying to seed files, etc) but after having a taste of incredible upload speeds where streaming of user interfaces/data/etc occurs pretty much in real time, real time collaboration on huge documents suddenly becomes much more possible. Video conferencing also becomes amazing.

But alas, dropping back down to the real world of upload speeds hasn't been that bad. Just means I can't email high res videos/photos back to my family so often and my Facebook photo upload activity has reduced.
