To improve your Web performance, you can set up your Hosts file to exclude a list of known advertising sites...there are a number of these lists around you can download for free. After that, popular sites that have embedded ads will not even attempt to load them, resulting in less needless traffic and much faster load times.
Eight megabytes would be roughly 64 Mb (too lazy to do the math on the 1024/M question, as many are going to straight decimal anyway). It would be unusual to speak of an 8 megabyte connection in this context.
It happens that here in Donetsk, local providers have been in a sort of price and performance war. Our present contract began at 5 Mb/sec for about $12 per month. The price has stayed the same, but the speed has continued to increase--first 10, then 12, then 30, and now at 60 Mb/sec download speed (although by test on my wireless G-connected laptop, upload throughput is slower, at about 40 Mb/sec.
Not bad for $12, actually. (I say "about $12" because it's actually 99 Ukrainian griven, each of which is presently about twelve cents.
Offsetting this, unfortunately, is the fact that the DNS service from our ISP sucks. At times, it can take fifteen or twenty seconds to make a connection the first time, whereupon loading the site is extremely fast.
It is by far the fastest and cheapest connection I have had.
