Do you need high speed internet?

So many options are becoming available these days that it is getting pretty competitive amongst the companies offering internet access. Speed is starting to become a normalized factor and I can see soon this not even being a part of the “type” of internet connection you get. High speed is only relative in my opinion to a 56k modem. When you compare high speed ISP providers speed is not often the thing you compare, as they all are usually adequate speed, it comes down to the expense of using them, weather or not you can get a month to month bill not a contract and how reliable their network is.
