I've been trying to come up with ways to save some money. Currently I have cox high speed internet access. and they claim I get 7mbps download speed. but when I do a speed test online, I only get around 5000 kbps. they have a cheaper package that is $15 less per month that gives me 1.5 mbps. Is it really worth it to have that extra speed. Most of my online acces is spent surfing the web, looking at this site, ebay, newegg news etc. Nothing major.
Would I really notice that big of a difference in speed? 1.5 mbps is still alot faster than dialup. I understand that download speed is dependant on the server that you go to. If there was only a way I could limit my speed as a test to see how slow it would be without actually changing it. Is there?
