Sure, faster is definitely better. Given the right price point of course.

See, you're spoiled!

Its not so much the 15mb down that i'm interested in but 5mb up.

Silvarios,

It's decent at the lower speed. Doable no doubt. But, given the choice, it's definitely smoother with the faster speeds. Bear in mind, this isn't taking into consideration the other machines in the household as well as the server which has activity taking place 24/7.

Case in point... I watch content via Netflix streaming pretty often - I'm trying to catch up on many seasons of Supernatural and several other shows - lol! But, while I'm watching content via netflix, my wife could be browsing the web, streaming video and such on her HP laptop. And, I'll have inbound backups from the computers at my office and those owned by my parents and siblings downloading via the Internet from their locations into the media/backup server. All happening simultaneously.

Definitely solid reasons for faster access. Smile
