	Perhaps we should borrow from the radio world:

LS - early modems - hundreds of bits per second 
MS - late modems and early digital lines - tens of kilobits per second
HS - DSL and early fixed wireless - a few megabits per second
VHS - FTC and fixed LTE 4G - around 100 megabits per second
UHS - FTH and fixed 5G - around a gigabit per second
EHS - Metro links and the like - 10 gigabit per second and up

	It needs extending to handle the kind of backbone links Morten used
to talk about.
