Here in Cyprus I downgraded my service from 6Mbps to 4Mbps saving an extra 10 EUR/month. I always thought that there are more important metrics to a satisfactory broadband service than download bandwidth. For example ping response time, degradation during peak hours, quality of service etc. Once I've passed the threshold of being able to stream HD videos without delays than the extra bandwidth doesn't really provide any additional benefits. Does it really make a difference if it takes 12mins to download a 1 GB file instead of 10? You don’t really need that much.
