nope. Got their 500k line and its fast enough. Twice as fast would move your average browsing from instant to.....well instant.

Then again you could be using it for some computery type thing so I dont know.

i had ADSL at the last house at 500k, i want faster speed tho, just dunno if it's worth it or not.

if you download enough things then yes go for it, I wish telewest had internet cable here, they said they wouldn't supply it

The only thing that I reckon would be particularly good about the 1mb connection is the increased upload speed - I also have the 500k connection. I haven't managed to justify the 1mb connection yet, as the times when I am uploading a lot are few and far between...

Yes uploading is good but downloading is sooooo much better, I have 512K at home and 1M at work and the download speed at work is so much better, ok sites don't load that much faster but that is not what the internet is always about
