Well, you can't just take bandwith all the time-- Apple runs iTools, the Mac.com email servers, etc... they can't afford to slow any of it down (iDisk is VERY fast in Jaguar, so obviously they're working to reduce bandwith in other places so that no one really has any problems with any aspect of their services. Keep in mind, they figure one Mac.com homepage won't get that much traffic, but the email servers MUST be fast and reliable, so, they just have to allocate accordingly. It's the same with any server company...
