Short answer: bigger is faster.
Long answer: It's download/upload. They're both important, download more so. The units are kilobits per second. 1 kiloBYTE(KB), the unit you hear most often=8kiloBIT(Kb), the unit used in internet speed. Notice the different capitalization in the abbreviations.
A music file, which is around 4 megabytes(4096 kilobytes, 32768 kilobits) will take about 128 seconds to download on 256/64 and 21 seconds on 1500/256. It will actually be a little slower, however, because the upload speed holds back the download speed; your computer needs to request each new packet, which uses your upload.

The KBPS with the larger numbers will give you more speed. It increases the amount of broadband that is availale to you. You definitly want a lot of broadband if you are downloading. It should cost you more too, but it is worth it.
Go for the 1500/256 kbps
