I have 256 - and I would very much like more bandwidth. Just about any activity on the Internet could benefit from a faster pipe.

USWest is now Qwest won't guarantee you any amount of bandwidth, whether you buy a 512k or a 7MB pipe. Now that they stopped rate-limiting at the CO, you'll train at whatever speed your line is capable of. Incidentally, I found out that they stopped rate shaping at the DSLAM because they are going to stream some sort of local content to their subscribers...but the tarrif (sp) requires them to do the same for all the non USWest.net customers as well.
