Yea. I have a customer who is looking at deploying a large number of
Squids around the globe, each handling a connection of 2 to 6 Mbit/s. In
this rate range Squid fits quite nicely.

At higher rates other products are selected, both for simplicity and to
keep the number of boxes down. Initial installation cost
(hardware+software) isn't the big issue here. The choice of products is
mostly done using other metrics.
