I have a faulty router that just this morning rebooted itself several times while Lion was downloading. Everytime the connection was lost it just resumed.
Why don't you try leaving it some hours and see how it goes?

That's why I posted the earlier message.
In the interest of full disclosure, it was probably because the Mac App Store needed to re-authenticate me (I changed IPs remember), clicking resume resulted in me not being able to start the download, and the App Store just decided that the 1GB downloaded was useless.
The point about flaky internet connections, and "chunk"ed downloads still stands. I don't expect to be able to get through this download, and even my current issue would have been more gracefully handled with a smaller download size since only 1 chunk of data would have been lost.
Note: Interestingly, my 3G connection is more reliable than my broadband with respect to reliability. Even more interestingly, the provider is the same in both cases.
I'm in Vietnam, and we're able to download Lion over FTTH.
The wired and wireless divisions of telecoms are often managed very differently. For example, AT&T's U-Verse FTTH service is great, but I wouldn't touch AT&T's cellular service with a 10' pole.
