In fact, run against (e.g., the HTML 5 speed tester), I get quite good download speed normally, but TeX Live installation always takes forever. I know from past experience that Rsynch is much faster, but that no longer works for TeX Live 2016 (reported a couple of days ago), so I have little option but to sit it out ...
