Actually it's not on a DSL line. cvs.infradead.org is under my stairs,
but git.infradead.org isn't -- it's in a data centre somewhere. Its
bandwidth isn't great, but as you say I'm a cheap bastard. It's in free
hosting which was volunteered when Red Hat so abruptly and gratuitously
pulled the plug on it a couple of years ago, and I don't feel I can
pester them to improve it.

It seems to get about 2 Mbps inbound, and 1.2Mbps outbound. To be honest
I'm not actually sure _how_ it's connected. A machine right next to it
(zeniiia.uk.linux.org) seems to have better bandwidth -- perhaps
pentafluge is being limited somehow?
