It tends to be self limiting, when you're on dial-up you don't (generally)
download XP Service Pack 2 (80MB) style downloads, as it'd take all week.

On a 1meg line (without any other load) it takes 10mins... Suddenly,
sending
120mb of photos to your mum is feasible, a few weeks later you don't even
think about it...

However, going back to my questions, if you have a few teenagers
downloading
p2p music 24 hours a days... all your 1mb will soon disappear...

We all exist reasonably happily on dial-up at the moment and none of use
uploads or downloads large files etc, so why won't it be worth it?
