Another scenario could be that:
Muntasim-Ul-Haque [PC]###[BROADBAND]~~~[ANOTHER NET]###[DEBIAN MIRROR]
where ### are high speed net (may be charged on traffic basis, i.e.
UMTS) and ~~~ is a sloooow branch where the traffic to Debian Mirror

hope I got the family name right) or at least do some inquiry from his
