Question about dedicated server speed

I will admit that im more than a bit thick with the tecky stuff so if this is a stupid question i apologise!

I have a dedicated server with 1 mbps. Im not using my full bandwidth which is apparently 320 gig per month. Im only using 4 gig a day but that is growing fast now im full time and working harder.

If i upgraded to a 5 mbps server, would my surfers get better download speeds for both movie files that they download and also page download? Or would that just mean more bandwidth to burn??

Also will more memory or a better CPU help with end users experience of download times?

If it means anything, my "average load" is 0.03, 0.01, 0.00 but sometimes it goes up, each figure is 0.07 or something in that region. Im told that shows the strain my server is under??
