Depends on what you do. If your playing games, going to download a lot of stuff the 20Mb/s would probably help. But if you just go everday things like check mail, look at forums, and stuff then the 1st plan is probably better for you.

These things are usually advertised as megaBIT, to translate this into an actual download speed just divide by 8.
So 10 Mbit = 1.25 mbyte per second. It's up to you if you think that's enough or not. For me, it's enough. But you may not want another plan if you're gonna be stuck with that price. In like a year people will be paying less and getting even higher speeds. That sounds a bit ridiculous, no?

We had a 20 mbit connection and when I did a speedtest it got up to 2.5mb/s but that's ofcourse not the speed you will always download at. I think the average would be 1-1.5mb/s for me. We upgraded to 22mbit though! (dunno why but lolz >.>)

Well it's a good trick of advertisers but meh...You get double the speed for a third more, if you can pay it I would just take the 20mbit one.

/Edit: if you download alot you'll need the 2nd one lol.

I didn't read the part where you said you were gonna be stuck with it for 2 years, if that is the case definitely go with the 2nd choice.

tbh if u survived all these years with 200 kb/s you'll be fine with 1.25 mb/s. That's the speed I'm rolling and I have no problems whatsoever.

If you dont need 20mb take the first one, but if you do --> second.

Even if you don't download a lot, go for the 20. It's only a couple dollars more and it's double the speed. Even if you're only streaming videos or playing old online games, it's worth it.

1st as there is no need for the second.

The one without a contract. If you really don't mind the contract the the second one. That is if you download quite often. I can download 50gbs in a day, but then for the next 2 weeks I download like 5gb. Really depends on how much you download.
