Also don't confuse latency with bandwidth, a few ms here and there won't make any difference to browsing or gaming. For gaming a steadier stable latency is much more important, for browsing a responsive and wide burst of bandwidth on demand.
I have to say I actually miss cable, web pages were pretty much universally instant - maybe I was one of the lucky ones  |
JustAnotherN00b is giving sage advice... The ping times to my local proxy servers are very low but they run like slugs. The ping times to watford servers and other areas are very high but I get a faster connection from there. You cant tell the speed of the proxy from its ping times !
