</div>I think the base speed is 3MBps (twice what I have now). But, IMO, if<br>
you aren't running services [which is forbidden anyway] speeds upwards<br>
of 3MBps are pretty pointless. At home I'm on a T1 speed business-class<br>
DSL right now and don't have any complaints at all. At work we have a<br>
fiber connection to our ISP and just about every upstream site throttles<br>
[on purpose or not] big transfers to something around ~3MBps anyway.<br>
The only time it goes faster is when pulling an ISO from a big mirror.<br>
Web surfing is much faster [fiber vs. DSL] if I look at the numbers but<br>
I honestly can't feel the difference.<br>
<br>
I suppose it depends on what you do, I just don't see the need for<br>
sky-high link speeds.<br>
