Subjectively speaking, based on user perceptions, it might be big. |

After all the overhead, you go from being able to upload at around 880-900kbps to around 1200-1250kbps... Not that big of a difference.
Not that big of a difference? Seems big to me. For example, I have AT&T DSL Elite at 768k rated, and I peak at about 560Kbits actual data speed. That's 70Kbytes/sec. So a 20 megabyte upload takes 285 seconds or 4 3/4 minutes. If I could double my upload speed to 1.5M rated, presumably I'd halve my upload time to about 2 1/2 minutes. |
