LOL.  Actually, this just got me to thinking.   Yesterday afternoon the 
the BlueOnyx network was running around 80Mbps to the Internet for a 
stretch.   That's about 60% more than the normally monitored traffic.

10 years ago (about the time we started moving to BlueQuartz and 
retiring Cobalts IIRC) we moved facilities.  We moved out from a 
datacenter served by fractional DS3.  We had become the largest tenant 
in what was really meant to be a telco room, and if we hit 12Mbps that 
would start causing problems.  We next went to a facility where we got a 
100Mbps handoff and had to do our own routing.  3 years later we moved 
into our own building served by multiple Gigabit connections.  Now we're 
supporting 10GigE with our current router upgrades.

It's a different world these days, that's for sure!
