Yeah, I upped my internet speed (at a premium of about $12/month) for two main reasons:

so that I could get better quality streaming netflix movies on my tv with the xbox 360 and so that I can easily download/surf the net on a desktop, a laptop, and play games (ps3 or 360) all at the same time... at 3mbs down I could not do this.

So for me, the added speed is not to get a really fast connection on one device, but a decent connection on multiple devices at the same time.
