In that case it
defenitly would be no faster but the point I was trying to make was when you browse websites the transfer rate is something like 30kB per sec. Main reason is it uses processing power to process the requests for each little image and part of the web page and it is nothing like simply downloading a file, for instance this reply box I am using to type this message has 21 smilies images it had to load to the right and another 14 below plus other images scattered across the page. If anyone keeps dumeter or netlimiter running whilst they do web browsing they will see peaks nowhere near 2mbit never mind 10mbit. So unless you download large files (like myself) or you have a household of numerous internet users who use the net simultaneously then you wont see much of a difference in downstream performance its more blagging rights then anything else. Even when it comes to downloading, probably something like <5% of the internet content will come to you at that speed, if you get 10mbit from a us http location in a single thread it is probably because you grabbing from a proxy cache. This is long winded so I wont add more
