Is ADSL 256/128 has advantage over 256/64 ?

There won't really be an appreciable difference for one person browsing the web. But if you have multiple users or you upload a lot then it might be worth it.

The benefit would be faster web browsing. Browsing is mostly about downloading but upload speed does play a factor. Back when satellite internet connections were popular people would have pretty quick download speeds ont heir dishes but would upload via a 33.6/56k modem. It worked well for browsing at the time.

It sounds like in your case you need to look at this from a cost/benefit perspective. If your users aren't complaining about their ability to browse then you probably shouldn't spend too much cash. If there are speed issues then this may be worth spending money on...how much money is up to you, of course.

Make sure you look at all of the bandwidth packages offered by your provider. If you are having serious bandiwdth issues then this small of an upgrade probably won't be sufficient.

the upload spead only counts if you want to do stuf like MSN (webcames) or stuf like voice over IP. else normal data rates are about 1kb of requite data Per 10kb of downloads.

so in the end you'd only benetif if you send losts of Email or use webcame / voip stuf on your computer....

It plays a factor in most activities, even for browsing. While the scenario question probably doesn't rely on upload spped too much, it 'counts' nonetheless.

Web browsing isn't as simple as sending one request and getting an entire page. Every element (css, html, images, external elements) must be requested. Those requests must be made via the limited upload capacity. I'm not saying that that he needs to upgrade, I just want him to understand how the upgrade could impact him so that he can make the cost/benefit analysis.
