In my opinion 3/1 at good quality with low jitter, low latency and 0.0 packet loss is vastly preferable to 15/5 that is flaky...
Now if his 3/1 is a poor quality DSL connection then that is rather bad. You can move a great deal of data downstream on 3 Mbps over a month if you have an addiction to torrented 1080p movies. Just let the torrent client run with a schedule from 1am to 7am. I do feel sorry for the people whose only option is $105/mo hughesnet vsat (or viasat/wildblue) with a 10GB monthly quota.
