2.x was a great piece of work and I think that a lot of developers would have been content to rest there. I'm really glad to see that you made the right, and perhaps tough choice, of taking ezpublish to the next level with the 3.x release!
Nice to see you like the new design. As for the bandwidth. We had some problems with the new network, a swtch went bananas. This is now replaced and the bandwidth should be sufficient.
