I've noticed zero difference in my browsing experience over 20mb. BBC I Player in High Quality plays the same with 20mb or 50mb. I guess where it will come into its own is if HD Content is launched via the internet.

Also unless you have a download accelerator, most sites will limit your download speed anyway, so you need at least 5 connections to get a file to benefit from full 50mb.

Generally now, if I make seven connections I max fast sites our around 4.8mb (40mb), I've not been able to hit 50mb or 1.5mb upload unless its early morning time (1am onwards) when the networks are less busy.
