Can my iMac keep up with high speed internet service?
A local service provider has just introduced a 5 meg internet service (not sure of the actual speeds).
I'm wondering if there was a limit as to how much my iMac can handle or any bottlenecks that would make it useless to consider this service.
Is there a threshold?

The html rendering machine of any given browser will be the bottleneck for a long time to come.

Rendering engines are fairly fast and usually take less than a second on most pages. Although there are exceptions, most websites usually aren't complex to truly slow down a rendering engine. The bottleneck is almost always the network connection.
If you have any websites lying around on your hard drive, you can try seeing how quickly the site loads locally, it should load much more quickly than your current internet. But if it's not, then it's probably not worth it.
