Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm struggling to decide whether to upgrade and to what.
The one thing I really don't want is to be any slower, but I can't figure out what will actually make me slower.
What does constitute a download site/server?
Is it just the list on this page https://portal.plus.net/support/broadband/speed_guide/download_servers.shtml

Thanks in advance for any help.
