This is more important that people give it credit for.  You often want
to do more than one thing at once, even just browsing two websites at
the same time counts.

If you limit yourself, by buying a slow internet connection, you will
probably regret it when it comes to trying to do your own things while
the computer is downloading updates, and the like.
