    Currently have 240 & maxing out at about 235. Is it going to make that much of a difference? 50% faster I know, but in real terms?

    Depends on what's you're wanting to do and how you find the current speed. Are you streaming video or downloading files? Is there many people using it?

    I would stream a lot and download games through steam and find 240 fine for 2 people.

    Atm I'm on the 240mb and it pretty dire after 6pm. Not sure how it works maybe others may have an idea are you just bumped up speed wise or something more technical happens? I'm waiting on VM reps to answer my problem but i wouldn't pay the increase just to see my speed rise and suffer the same in the evenings.

    In real terms? Nada. I work in a networking role and currently use 120_12. 36u would be nice for the VPN, but until 4k content rolls around theres no demand for it.

    In households with 5-6 adults it would be great though.
