I'd like to further reinforce this point, as a Global business we have 
just moved all our sites from per mbps billing to per GB. As a business 
we want the fastest access speeds we can get. Time sat waiting for 
something to load is $$'s added to a project which in turn makes us less 
competitive. Since doing this, at the top end our branch access speeds 
have moved from 10mb to 1gb for around the same monthly spend.

Cheers,

Bill
