well, that assumes most users never change the default setting.

should i read that as kilobits...?, because i'm getting several tens
of times that speed, although i must admit i normally use my own,
mirror for obvious testing reasons.

yes, unless excluded by mirror owners.

i think the whole point of going with that order was to offload
repo.parabola.nu first of all, but also our mirrors, which aren't that
numerous. i like the idea of leveraging Arch. if speed is the concern
then we can think of going with faster ones (shouldn't be too hard
to change). surely there must be many.
