I agree with you 100% on what you just said.

But who is going to be downloading a bunch of 1kb files? Not me.

But if I had a choice I'd choose both, the 10 Mb for my 360 and the 500 Mb for my network.

Webpages range from 1kb-20kb for the raw text (usually can be more but usually around there due to compression of gzip)..

images range from 2kb-200kb (on average)

javascript files range from 1kb-5kb (again due to gzip)

css files range from 1kb-5kb (again due to gzip)

Now most sites that use ajax also send 1kb-2kb data strings between server and back.

now don;t forget those ad banners that load 10 javascripts within each other

now notice how many small files we download daily?

and for regular downloads bit torrent benefits very well from latency mostly if they are in small block sizes.

But of course we always want faster latency and better connection...which is actually one benefit of 4G is it is not only faster but better latency over 3g.

but CPU does have an effect on the latency, not by making it faster but "optimizes it"..aka in reality you may be receiving data at 100ms but due to the cpu being bottlenecked it only processes it at 200ms..get the point? its not that your making your connection any faster, your just making more use of what you already have.
