Re: 300K to 750K stupid question but will I see a difference?
300 bps should be fine for surfing and occassional downloads.

I went for 600 (now 750 of course) because I was used to pretty fast net access at work, and figured 600 wouldn't be as good, but tolerable. In fact, 600 turned out to be much quicker than I was used to at work.

Indeed, right now I've got about 580 bps downloading leaving me with just 170 for surfing, and pages aren't exactly instant; taking a couple of seconds to appear, but speed's certainly tolerable.

As other posters have suggested, if you're not a heavy online games player, downloader, or uploader, 300 may well suit you.

You can always upgrade if it turns out not too.

Hope that helps.
