I find a big difference as well, otherwise I wouldn't be spending the additional money per month that I do. I feel like Captain Kirk pushing Scottie for "more speed!".

In theory, no, in practice, yes. People remember bad experiences very well. If I have even one experience of congestion in the period of a month, I am going to remember it and complain about how I need more bandwidth. Rule of thumb, if you are inconvenienced for any reason because of lack of bandwidth, you don't have enough. Just wait until you have several computers on your network that all attempt to download a 1GB Team Fortress patch at the same time, while you're in the middle of <insert something important that is latency sensitive>

I think that depends how slow your connection was before. Dial up not hard to see a difference. Go from satellite to something else again big change. So yeah it depends on speed and type of previous service.

Hey, glad to see you finally post. Most people that signup don't participate in my forums... it's cool though, people just wanna test their speed. So, I have an LTE connection that can vary from a couple Mbps to over 50 Mbps. If you look at my stats and filter them right you can see my best on my iPhone on Verizon. When I'm getting 8 Mbps it still surfs great but when I'm able to pull 40+ page response is almost instant, the difference is great. On my test bench when I develop my speed tests I purposly limit my connection varing levels to check accuracy. I've surfed the web and ran at every imaginable speed... it does make a difference, even for simple browsing.

Hi Friends, Not new to this forum but no post since more than 2 years. My Question. do you really feel a big difference while surfing with a 8Mbps and 40Mbps, obviosly downloanding and while on torrents its a really big difference, But just surfing?
