@googleverse: a user's own connetion speed is largely irrelevant now when it comes to surfing the web. Wether you're on 2mbit or 20mbit, the user's own connection has ceased being the bottleneck.
But the user's connection is just one small link in a very long and complicated chain that connects them to a website, and a lot of things can go wrong or be delayed along the way. Thus it's important for website owners to minimise the risks of slow load times by making sure their side of the chain is as optimal as possible.
