It's faster and slower for me
Faster in that the site responds way quicker than before, new pages load much quicker for me. Slower in that images on the site come in slower, since there appears to be a 50 k/s cap per connection (in both directions too from what I've seen), and so it's very noticable if you have a considerably faster connection, but at least the body/text of the page comes in faster than before.
