The DSL internet in the new house is a flash... at least compared to the dialup I was using before. Dictations that used to take 4-5 minutes to download now take 20-30 seconds.
I base my speed desires on whether or not I get impatient waiting for stuff to download, and as things stand now, 99% of the stuff I download I don't have to wait more than a few seconds for. (Server response time, being in Thailand, contacting American sites, does not factor into my figuring, since no internet technology between my home and my ISP can improve on how fast packet requests make it halfway around the world, and how fast the requests are responded to by the server at the other end.) Therefore, as cool as it would be to get the megabit internet service for $80 per month, I can't say that I would have any reasonable expectation of using the entire bandwidth very often.
