Comment 2 for bug 614848

I don't think it's possible to find the internet connection bandwidth, so showing the bandwidth relative to the maximum value measured so far seems the best solution. We could use the bandwidth of the network card and display values relative to that, but network cards are usually 100Mb/s or 1000Gb/s, and the internet speed is usually lower, and in case of 1000Gb/s cards, the internet usage would be almost 0% of the 1000Gb, so it would not be really useful neither.

So maybe storing the maximum speed used so far would help a bit, and showing everything relative to that. So each time your network load is higher then a current maximum stored, the maximum would get saved, so after you have fully used your 4Mbps bandwidth for the first time you would get the behavior you requested. What do you think?
