Since I’m a dial-up user and never visit youtube, etc. I wouldn’t notice any difference, but I do know about sample/bit rate as when I used to put audio training/tutorial files in web pages I used to use the lowest bit rate so those on dial-up didn’t have any real issues when streaming the audio file.
