It helps you to determine how quickly you can upload and download files, view pages with lots of graphics or play multimedia content (video, audio, animation).
To determine your connection speed on a Windows machine, go to the Start menu and click Control Panel. Double click Network Connections. Highlight/select your connection and, under the Network Tasks menu to the left, click "View status of this connection". Your connection speed will be dispayed in the dialog box that pops up.

To answer your question, I want you to do an experiment.
Find someone with a 2400 baud modem. Go online & download a video file. Now find someone else with a 56K model & do the same thing. Now try it with someone who has DSL. Now try it with someone who has a cable connection.
Next, imagine that you have to download a lot of them and can pick any of the four computers. Would your investigation into the speed of the four options affect your choice?
