Based on my understanding, it won't make a difference unless both ends of the connection and every router in between has its MTU set >1500. You can have the MTU set to 9000 on every router on your network, but if your customer's router/PC is 1500, all frames will be 1500. People on NANOG were discussing this a couple of weeks ago when talking about optimizing multi-hundred megabit transfers across the Internet where they had optimized it on their network, both endpoints, and arranged it with all of their transit providers. But it's not something you can just turn on in the middle and get "more speed."
