Re: 3meg worth it?
I have only managed 3mbit in ONE thread from one server, that is a 100mbit server I colocate in germany, I could probably also get it from my other 2 100mbit servers I colocate and from uk 100mbit+ servers. I can easy get 3mbit over multiple threads and I can also usually get it on uk speedtest sites. What you will start to notice is you wont get it of sites hosted outside of europe and even some sites in europe wont be able to give you the speed eg. 1 10mbit server can only cater for 3 3mbit users and then it only has 1mbit left.
For things like web browsing you will be downloading loads of small images eg. this site the post reply button is 3.2k in size so when downloading lots of small files rather then big files your speed will be lower so if you just browse websites then a 3mbit connection isnt going to feel much different then a 750kbit connection.
Things like fileplanet.com will probably on most occasions not max out a 3mbit connection in 1 thread.
