>When you're a programmer, what is the difference to your work between 10 and 100mbps, really? While you asked about programming, I think it is the non-work stuff that matters, namely entertainment. If you play video games and/or watch Netflix, then a greater than 10mbps might make those things easier and thus more enjoyable, afaik. I presently have a 1Mbps connection, which is consumed mostly by YouTube videos. All my other internet usage could be satiated with 1/3 of my present bandwidth. If I cared to watch Netflix or played video games, then I would be unhappy unless I had a substantially better connection, perhaps >10mbps.
