> it's latency not bandwidth that's critical and a "fast" connection normally refers to bandwidth.

the lack of distinction in this regard is part of the problem.

i.e. an airplane is faster (latency) than a containership, althou the ship has higher bandwidth (capacity).

The better word is "quicker". Faster = bandwidth. Quicker = latency. 56k connections can have good latency, depending on packet size.

I don't think that helps much, fast and quick are interchangeable in common parlance.
