Well it depends on what you want, if the cheap one is enough fro you then get it, if not then go for the higher one.

If you are just into web surfing, emails and online games, 6 mbps is all you need.

Take the 10 mbps only when you often do heavy downloads and uploads of very large files (500 MB or more).

well it will mostly be toplay (counter-strike) and (world of warcraft).
so the 6mps will be good? cuz i can afford the10mps but if i really dont need it then ill just go for the 6mps, just wanted your profesional opinions on it cuz i dont wanna get the 6mps and not have it be enough for me to be lag free.
