Erm, not quite accurate, I think.
An increase of 22 kbs to 150 kbs is a 14.66 % increase.
The difference between a 14 kbs and 36 kbs modem is a 257.14 % increase.
Not quite comparable to the 14.66 % increase on the 150 kbs.
An increase of a 14 kbs modem to 16 is the real comparison.
Both are increases that will hardly be noticed. A 5 minute download can be done a 3/4 of a minute faster.
