Default Change Connection Type (cable/modem etc) to Average UL/DL Speed

I'd like to see a change from "connection type" just being Cable, Modem, T1/T3 etc to something more informative.

You never know what speed your going to get from anyone and taking their average and max download/upload speeds and replacing the connection type will give you a more realistic idea of what type of connection they have.

I hate selecting a t1/t3 listing and getting 2k as my download.

Example:
Most people get around 30-45k download. If there are multiple going it splits down further. So depending upon how busy lw is my average up/download speeds may change. If you display the max and average that would give users an idea that "hey I could possibly get 45k from this guy and if he's really busy 15k"

This might make it a bit easier to judge the connection/file you select to begin your download.

The only downfall is if you have 10 modem users download from you in a row it could skew the average... but max will be a decent reference.

Thought this might be better than a generic modem, cable, t1/t3 selection.

Thanks...
