[geeks] layoffs and startups

[James Sharp]

Not to put a damper on anyones plans...but do you really NEED 100Mbps?

A T1's worth of bandwidth will get you quite a bit of bang

I'm running 15 relatively low traffic virtual hosts here at home on a
1mbps SDSL circuit and I don't ever see the average traffic level go much
above 40 or 50kbps.
