Put this in your Philosophy 101 pipe and smoke it: If bandwidth at your office is so choked by co-workers watching Possessed Demon Cat on YouTube and bidding on Bob Dylan memorabilia on eBay that normally fast-loading web sites time out or are rendered as unstyled HTML, and even the site that tests your bandwidth fails to load, are you even connected to the Internet at all?

Or, should you just move to Japan, where the median Internet download speed is allegedly 61 megabits per second? (Link via Lost Remote)
