Well my ADSL line gives me around 14Mb, your 30Mb will give you 30Mb but..
If we both download a lot in 24 hours you will be throttled by as much as 75% of your speed leaving you with around 7.5Mb for 5 hours, I will be getting 14Mb constantly no matter what I download. Your peer2peer is managed all the time and alsorts of STM kicks in at peak times--I can download what I want via any protocol 24 hours a day.
If neither of us download then speed doesn't matter as browsing the web on 30Mb or 14Mb will give the same results. Or at least not a noticeable difference, If we both have kids streaming HD Youtube, gaming, facebooking both connections will cope fine.
The only real difference will be I pay £7.50 maximum you pay £22ish
ADSL speeds are increase all the time and for those stuck on very long lines fibre from the EXCHANGE is being looked at as a solution. Removing the long poor quality copper line and replacing it with fibre optic.
