    Here are some approaches for bandwidth detection:

    F4:
    load an external swf with a 5k gif.
    use a getTimer loop to track how long it takes to load.
    if the swf loads in less than 1 second the user has broad band, otherwise the user has narrowband.
    (load the swf with a random number in query string to work around file caching in case someone revists the site with narrow band connection - you dont want them getting the broad band version because they loaded the 5k swf immediately from cache)

    F5:
    check getBytesLoaded() over a period of time like 1 second to get a rough idea of user's data transfer rate.

    see Remixology #19 for a bandwidth detection script:
