My site is a download site... considering i only use 2000GB bw/mo, would there be any noticeable difference between a 10Mbit port and a 100Mbit one? (download speed is a priority, but not the highest one we have)

We have a low budget, but need reasonable support & good uptime. Can you guys tell me what sort of CPU/RAM/ price point i will need to be looking at? Any host recommendations?

Thanks

Edit: Perhaps a VPS might be a better option? what do you guys think?
