Nah, the discussion was for archives, and as you were saying - "Don't put it 
online unless you have the bandwidth and controls to do it right". So, I 
assumed we weren't talking about someone with a lil 10mb pipe. And putting 
on bandwidth controls by itself isn't good enough, because you'll run out of 
steam for a serious archive. So, do it right or don't do it at all.

> How do you determine "quality" bandwidth?
To those of us who work in that business, this is not a subjective question. 
It's pretty cut and dry. Latency, hops, outages, routing issues, and 
peering/connectivity.
