The world record is something like600key presses per minute, which is 10 41-byte TCP packets per second ~= 4 kbps.When I go to Internet cafe's (I like Global Gossip), I connect my Ti-book to the local ethernet if at all possible (that's why I like Global Gossip)anduse high bit rates (i.e., file transfers) in both direction.Would the uploads be HTTP? That's the only thing I'd want to limit to a few kbps. (Well, and outgoing SMTP to 0 kbps.)
When I am at a cafe I use a web based encrypted email program, and if I email a large attachment (say a pdf file), then it goes http outbound. The other major outbound bandwidth use is scp (very rarely, ftp or ssh). I do not really see what the touch typing limit is relevant to - whose primary Internet use is telnet /ssh now-a-days ? Again, when I go to a cafe in another city, I am generally there to get some work done, and frequently have a bunch of previously prepared files to send. I may not be a typical user... Regards Marshall
If I was limited to 4 kbps outbound, I would want my money back.Just one customer viewpoint :)Understandable. On the other hand, spammers using internet cafes isn't good either.
