BTW, theres no such thing as unlimited downloads since I think youll find its only unlimited until you go over your isp's acceptable use policy which covers their ass should you be a frequent downloader.
512k is a joke too plus these days the upload speed is way lower which has slowed down all users of shared p2p files. Doesnt do any good if you have 512k if your downloading from a p2p user who has a 64k capped upload speed.
Gone are the days of 2mb up and 2mb down which I had in canada, I got a complete album of santana's supernatural in less than 5 minutes plus I was queuedby the sharer on napster after 2 tracks..........

It depends on what you do with the internet. I download movies and find 512k a bit slow (average 700mb mpg takes average 6hrs).
Lots of p2p clients are big system and bandwidth hoggers so with 512k its sometimes hard to even bring up a web browser if people are uploading from you.
