Should I be using full duplex? |

Thinking about spending $10 more/month to get faster speeds from eastlink. Does anyone have this already - is the speed difference noticeable?
Would using a wifi router (802.11g) be a bottleneck?
4 MB/sec download would be nice in theory, but with eastlink is it reality?
