If the company does not need high speed access why should they pay for it?

That's right. The Internet wasn't installed in workplaces to have people surf all day long and have pages load fast.

Ha! At work I deal with customers that have integrated T1s and only 2 channels for Internet (128kbps). Be glad your company isn't that cheap.

Luckily since I work for a telco I don't have this problem. :D

I don't abuse the connection at work, however, When I am using it legitimatly I often get over 10mbit (usually to FTP over some zipped up log files ... file sizes up to like 300MB)
