of apple, bandwidth

With the arrival of the new Iron Man 2 trailer, available on Apple’s lovely little site, it’s taken me over an hour to download the 720P version.  It comes in a lowbie 110MB, yet I’m currently downloading at 30k/sec.  Lovely.  And here I thought they used Akamai for some distribution.  Clearly not!  Even other movies take ages.  Uncool!  Either it’s something to do with Quicktime & the servers it chooses, or Apple just plain fails at bandwidth.
