On the 300k, pretty sure I had 128+/128 and 150+/128 as well. (ex-C&W, if it makes that much difference)
Is that on a Set Top Box or a Modem, the STB has different speed restrictions in both directions to support the data requirements of the TV programming, I know that you used to be able to get a download of 256k on a 150k STB service, the upload may be higher so the box uploading PPV and other information did not affect the BB service.

And to answer the topic question, I think 300-750 will be a noticable increase in web performance, 750-1500 less so as many web sites will be capped to offer less bandwidth to the user than 1500, so will not be able to send the page back to you at 1500, also where they are database driven (like this one), the page has to be formed by the database before it can be served, this will take longer than the serving, you will spend the same amount of time waiting for the page to be generated on 300, 750 and 1500, slightly less time recieving it.
