However, before expending any resources on making SL Faster for people with crappy internet, first you need to show that there are enough of us to matter, and also that our internet won't be improving any time soon.

Which begs the question: What does the internet connection of current users look like, and how is that population changing or likely to change in the future? regards, ponzu
