IF web browsing is all you do on the net

IF web browsing is all you do on the net, then he is probably right. There is very little difference between 10Mbps and 100Mbps when you are browsing "normal" web pages (yes I have used both). There is just not enough data being transferred on a typical web page to see the difference. 10Mbps is 1.25MBs and 100Mbps is 12.5MBps, so if you are transferring less than 5MB(?) most people will not see any difference.

Now move up to 400MB(or larger) files, then you are talking five minutes versus 30 seconds. That people will notice.

I use instant netflix and I never notice when my 7mbps connection is at 3mbps vs 6mpbs (max it ever gets). As long as the video does not stop and is fed to me as high quality (3mbps per netflix) then I could care less about higher speeds.
