So you just assume that changing between 50 meg and 300 meg service actually should give you a 6x speed up during browsing? I think that's a very flawed assumption to make. Just because your connection is capable of a certain advertised speed doesn't mean you're getting that speed from any given server as you browse the Internet.

No, I'm assuming that because it didn't give me a noticeable speedup that bandwidth isn't the bottleneck. Also, the bottleneck isn't my connection out to the internet because I can get more than the advertised speed any time of day to speedtest.net servers. I suppose the bottleneck could be on the other end, but aren't these sites all hosted on major platforms these days? Like AWS/Google/etc.?
