No big impact in most cases. The bottleneck is often on the CPU or RAM.
My guess is that 85+% of LET user web sites would be perfectly fine with 100 or 200 Mb/s. And 97+% would be perfectly fine with 1 Gb/s.
Besides, more often than not providers who offer 100 or 200 Mb/s actually do provide that port speed/bandwith, while many "1 Gb/s" offers are, let's call it more on the theoretical side. I've seen a lot of VPS on server hardware with dual 10 Gb/s adapters and far more than 20 VPS with 1 Gb/s (which in part makes even sense as the vast majority of VPSs user far, far less than their allocated bandwidth, but still it also means that one can't be certain to get one's 1 Gb/s if needed).
If the site does not have large files to download, then 100 Mbps will be enough for a normal site and there will be no difference in speed.
Maybe 100 Mbps is perfect.
