Do i really need 1GBPS uplink port on dedicated server ?

hi all.,

i am getting new dedicated box, for my new project.

majority static content is serverd from CDN, so dedicated box is for php + nginx+ mysql ,
and i hav enabled gzip compression in nginx.

the dedicated box comes with 100 mbps uplink port,

my avg page size is about 5-8 kb as shown in firefox ,

so i can server i guess near about 3k pages at the same time, on 100 mbps, thats more than enouh for startup site.

or am i missing something else ?

so do i really need 1gbps uplink port ? there is extra 75 bucks per month for 1gbps uplink port upgrade .

so what do you think ?
