Ted, when looking at a service like this you have to consider average throughput of a sustained transfer. Taking spot measurements is meaningless because Bar contention issues will affect your average but may be missed by taking spot measurements, most providers only have a couple of "pipes" for each product so at peak times contention levels can be quite high.
Of course you can solve this with a predictive pint cache.
