You won’t notice any different on browsing foreign sites between 20Mb/s and 100Mb/s. I doubt you would notice much difference between 4Mb/s and 100Mb/s! You should see a dramatic increase in your bittorrent speeds on popular torrents.

I wonder if upgrading my connection would help anything at all.

No, it won’t. The money would be better spent renting a VPS in HK that has direct peering with China Telecom. Then create an IPSEC tunnel or some kind of traffic obfuscation with OpenVPN to it.

FYI, my upload has returned to 2Mb/s. No idea how I got 10Mb/s yesterday.
