I am on the same boat. At home with 56 and 2 max.

The beauty of the present system is quick downloading of text only. If everyone starts attaching or embedding 1 Mb photos with fine details, then it will take forever and a day to download. Have pity on those who are still forced to use narrow-band Internet because their ISP does not offer anything faster than a nominal 56 kbit/s (usually slower) dial-up. I have the max available here of 2 Mbit/s ADSL and even that can be deadly slow with largish attachments. PLEASE NO!
