I find it fascinating that people would say that on this list, of all places.

If the AusNOG crowd doesn't have a good handle on the bitrates used in real
life by actual real-life users then what hope do the politicians have?

PS: I reckon "12 Mbps doesn't cut it today for the average household/farm" is
total bullshit.  And I reckon there are at least a hundred people on this list
with several years of archived MRTG graphs which tell them I'm right.

Just sayin'.
