That "135mbit/sec" (actually about 70mbit/sec) is slower than the internet downlink many of my neighbours here have (75mbit/sec).

Not that it's useful to them having that speed, because this particular ISP charges through the roof for actually moving bits over that connection.

But so long as we're talking Apple notebooks -- not the typical corporate machine -- they do have USB3 as well, so they still can use industry standard NICs as well as the newfangled Thunderbolt gear.
