My guess is that the average supernode is on something like 6M/1.5M DSL. This is easy to simulate.

Now, if most of your nodes are on machines directly connected to 10GbE, then that's a problem. But most Skype nodes aren't. (I do imagine there are a few connected to 100M+ connections. But only a few.)

I imagine quite a lot in countries like Sweden. I had 100Mbit in my apartment for cheaper than my shitty comcast which barely breaks 5.
