Which Broadband?

[smurfchops]

I have been using AOL Broadband and am very happy, I dont want to change my provider but wondering whether to save my pennies and thinking of changing from Gold to Silver.  Would you recommend Silver at up to 512 kbps (�17.99 per month) or Gold at up to 1 mpbs (�24.99 per month).  What would be the difference because I don't know what these speeds mean, and which would you recommend?  I am just an average personal user, I don't use the internet for work but am on it a lot of the time. At the moment I am on the faster one, but would the slower one make a lot of difference?

i would say that if u download a lot of things then u will notice a fairly big difference (about twice the time to download anything) but if it is just general browsing of sites and chatrooms etc then u wont hardly notice a thing really, maybe a slight delay as the page updates but barely noticible i would have thought

I download quite a few photos from my camera, that is all, otherwise it is mainly browsing.

Well I have just change from AOL Gold to AOL Silver and it hasnt made the slightest difference - possibly if I play a lot of games etc. it would be slower, but I dont and it seems fine. Thanks for your help. !!
