Arrow 15mb or 7mb Internet Speed?

If you were given these 2 choices, which one would you rather have?

1) Free 7mb bandwidth with Wireless Networking

or

2) 15mb/1mb upload with Wireless Networking for only $10 before tax.

Reason why I am asking because the new company that I am working for now gave me these two choices. I know $10 isn't that much but why pay for something I don't really need or not very beneficial to me? I have two desktop computer with one being wireless only and the other hard wired. Both will mostly be used to just surf the net and watch youtube videos, etc. Only one pc will be used for moderate online gaming. If you were me, which one would you choose?

15Mbit for $10 sounds awesome! If you don't really care, just go with the 7 for free, it will be plenty!

7 for free is great, I can't imagine needing 15 unless you were some hardcore gamer.

15mb for $10 for sure. You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much bandwidth.

7mb with GetRight will be fast enough.

Re: 15mb or 7mb Internet Speed?

If I had a 15mb connection I would probably have every movie ever made on my computer as well as every TV series. I guess it just depends on how you use your internet. If you game and download a lot then you could easily justify the 15mb, but if you are casual only only d/l songs on iTunes and stuff then i'd go with free.

7Mb for free should be fine, unless you pirate. Also wireless isn't always the greatest, I hope yours is good!

My 15Mb Fiber FIOS gets installed tomorrow WOOH!

Oh yeah hi from Texas suckas!
