Yes, and No. But for the most part no.
And we are talking about loading web pages and skype, not fast paced first person shooters. So as long as you have a good latency, you'll be find.
But latency has nothing to do with downloading speed, as long as your latency is in an acceptable range.
I'm saying if I had my Mobile Intel 2 Duo 2.1 Ghz vs and my AMD Phenom II 3x 720 OC to 3.8 GHz that I nor would anyone else have improvement in downloading speed.
