That's not exactly how it works....it depends on the processing speed of the server you have and how much bandwidth you pay for. Whenever you type in a url, your computer sends a request to whatever server is nearest you (see speedtest.net). That server then contacts the server that owns the url you requested which sends the information back to your server. Then that server sends the information to your computer.



So the speed at which you get the information is based on the speed of the two aforementioned servers. The speed at which your server provides you information is based on how much bandwidth you pay for. Bandwidth is measured in Megabits (Mb) per second, not to be confused with Megabytes (MB). A megabit is a tenth of a megabyte. So let's say you want to get a half of a megabyte per second, you would need 6 megabits per second.



Where I live, that's about $40/m, but it might be different in your area. http://www.comcast.com/Corporate/Learn/HighSpeedInternet/highspeedinternet.html?lid=2LearnHSI&pos=Nav go to that URL and type in your address, and you can see the different speeds of internet you can get.



You can also get this bundled with cable and phone to make it even cheaper. If you prefer AT&T, you can go here: http://www.attsavings.com/internet.html?gclid=CM-GpLP30qQCFbJa7Aod30FuJw

Your question cannot be easily answered.

Most of the time, the speeds that are advertised, cannot be attained by one of several bottle-necks.

For example, Verizon FiOS, offers speeds of up to 50MBS download BUT, the ability to actually download at those speeds in highly unlikely.

Why? Because of throttling. The amount of data allowed to be streamed from a server, is usually controlled by the server admin, to prevent DOS (denial of service). With enough "requests" for data to a certain website, the server would be overloaded and then shut down for a while until demand can be normalized.

Try this test somewhere where you know the speeds being offered. Then go to a site like Microsoft. Download some piece of software trial. The very fastest you will stream data will be around 2-3MBPS.



Now, there are other factors. Your computer/router/network setup can also be a factor, but any/all of them would likely slow down rather than add speed to your perceived/desired results..



In short, any internet service that offers at least 5mbs down and 2-3 up, you are fine, and won't notice much improvement by buying more.



One area where speed may seem valuable would be anyone who has several online "gamers" in the household. IN this case, more speed would be helpful.

Then again, most any router set up would be able to control and deliver bandwidth as needed.

I don't know a THING about fabric optic speed. I have heard about "fiber optics", though.
