I'd probably get the new modem. You still should possibly notice a difference and definitely will for streaming movies or uploading over ftp (provided your client and server are both configured to take advantage of the pipe)

One thing to watch is method of connection form say the cable modem to your computer. Is this a wireless router you use? If so depending on equipment and conditions you might not ever see that extra speed until you fix things (or get a new router - such as Wireless-N -- though even Wireless G is enough under good conditions). Likewise for wired connections. There still are people out there who use 10 Mbit/s ethernet adapters. You want 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet) when you have that sort of bandwidth available.

And you're really lucky to have that. Here in the US it is typicalk to have 5Mbit/s Down and 250 Kbit/s Up. And we often pay $60 a month for it and the providers are trying to install low monthly caps so they can charge us more -- ridiculous amounts. You are EXTREMELY fortunate to have that available.

By comparison your connection is TEN TIMES faster in the downlink and 20 times faster for the uplink than mine!

well we have alot of companies here who offer internet connection, i pay 95 euros a month (i have cable connection, on this moment the fasted one in holland) for the internet connection, unlimited surfing ofcourse, but with that price i also have 120 tv channels extra which also are the movie channels and the porn channels and my phone thing, i can phone to all in holland for free as long it are no 0900 numbers or mobile phone numbers. say its pretty cheap, but we have alot companies who offer deals here, like the one i have, i dont have a year contract, i can cancel every month when i want. oh and i use a cable to my modem, only my daughter use the wireless part of the router.

I have a couple friends who have high-speed connections different then mine, one much faster the other slower, but when surfing the web I honestly can't tell the difference between my connection and either of theirs. There is a big difference when downloading videos or large files, though.

I guess it depends on whether you're just viewing pages, or if you're downloading lots of video content or something.
