I know for me and most of the linux users in Australia we all have broadband so the majority of install on debian for instance are done through our local mirrors since there is a peering arrangement and we get faster speeds. At the moment for instance we have ADSL 2 specs over here so for me someone 3.5 km from the exchange I can download at 3500kb which means a net install cd for me would be great. On top of that imo you would automatically get the latest programs and you wouldn't have to re-download all the updates after its installed.
