I'm moving away to college and researching my new ISP (Time Warner)

http://www.cabletv.com/time-warner/internet

My home connection with Comcast according to speedtest.net is 26.81mbs. The most econmical package from time warner is 15mbs. Will half the speed be a noticeable decrease?

If it matters, I torrent a lot of programs and plan on switching to netflix in the future. My fastest download speed on uTorrent has been about ~1.5mB/s which is ~12mbs.
 
Solution
15 to 26Mbs download is not that noticeable of a change IMO, and likely the upload for both is around 2Mbps. You will probably want to pause your torrenting while using Netflix or you can get a lot of buffering.
