I wasn't necessary thinking of just within the UK. I am primary concerned
with our own network connection . We have a 34Mbs connection to JANET,
but that is shared with other resources and not dedicated to EGEE. I wonder
if this is a bottleneck for users of our tier 2 site, and if so, what
bandwith we should
be aiming at.
