Hello
I have an offer from BT to increase my internet speed from 150 to 500, I wondered how much of a change this would make to FS2020? Obviously it is in relation to scenery. Currently I think the photogrammetry looks ok, there are still areas of milyen buildings, etc, but I am quite happy. However if an increase in speed would resolve those areas I would like to know.

Are you running on wifi or ethernet wired? Also what are your PC specs.
I can only speak for 2024 these days, but my 100MBit connection is never even close to being maxed out by the sim - given the readouts the whole pc system provides. And no, network connection itself is not limiting.
So I would risk to say: if you cannot clearly put your finger on some measurement that tells you that your ISP speed is a bottleneck, then you shouldn’t notice any difference at all.
Those advertised speeds can be misleading. They may have equipment that can deliver those speeds, but actually getting them is a whole different story. You have to have the equipment to receive it that fast - that’s everything from the modem to the NIC in your PC. But even if you have the latest and greatest hardware at home, any download is only as fast as the slowest node between the source and the destination. Even if the source is in the same country, you could be looking at anywhere from ten to twenty (or more) connections.
