Please.  ADSL can certainly provide faster access - but won't format a page

more quickly if the code is badly written - nor is it a universal panacea

for bandwidth restrictions.  Certainly faster access will become more

prevalent - but it strikes me that ADSL will be sold as a 'premium' service

- rather than following the free-isp model that narrowband access has

developed into. Cable is likely to have higher takeup - but US experience

shows that congestion is still very much an issue as the number of people

using the bandwidth, and the number of bandwidth intensive applications

increase. So for the moment, it strikes me that intelligent design, good

coding and careful optimisation will still be the key to fast delivery.


I'll get me coat now ;o)
