Internet speed 4 Mb 12 Mb? Whats the difference - quick answer
I am considering upgrading to 4 Mb to 12 MB, but would like to know what the effect would be, not so much for streaming media and file downloads. But more for
A) Interaction with sites with heavy reloads (like http://drupal.org/project/Modules)
B) Skype video and similar
Questions
1) In general, what would be the difference between the two speeds?
2) How can I find out if my provider is the bottleneck.
(For 2 the best I can think of is to find out my maximum bandwidth on my PC, find out if it corresponds to the official limit, and then see how close i get with the tasks in question)
Thanks

12mb is better then 4mb it will allow you to surf heavy sites at good speed and will increase your performance.

I want to delete this, but the site is not working.
About the Drupal example I am aware that CMS speed is often limited on the server. My question is more about when there seem to be a lot of data. (I think for The Drupal example, the page starts to come down early)

Your download speeds will increase up to either your maximum download speed or the sites maximum upload speed, which ever is smaller.
