unicorn is on a distinguished road
I really doubt this. From some different sources I've learned that the are talking about 20% off of the hardware capacity, ie mostly 20% off from those 100 Mbit/sec your NIC should be able to handle. That should leave something like 80 Mbit left for your network tasks. Not many have that kind of speed at the Net.
Again, it's hard to know the whole truth. What I know is that I can download with 125 kByte/sec now, exactly the same as with this service in default configuration.
I'm sorry for not giving any link to any source, I have forgotten it as it suddenly was to no interest any more.
