You can certainly sell 24 100mb pipes.  Whether you can actually *deliver*
is a different matter....

You didn't *seriously* think that most cablemodem and DSL vendors actually
have enough infrastructure to support everybody using a full pipe at once, did you?

Hell - there's some 30K network drops on our 2 /16s, most of which are 100mbit.
And we've only got a 10Gbit uplink to Abeline/Lambdarail/etc and a 2xOC12 that
eventually lands in Sprint land.  I think we're *way* overcommitted. ;)
