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
is routed, to know exactly what happens one should be Mr. Ul-Haque (I
hope I got the family name right) or at least do some inquiry from his
