If you have Comcast cable internet service and pay for Boost (I think it's $9 a month extra for some extra speed), could you tell me how fast your service is?

 

I suspect mine is terribly slow...

I had that...and took it off, I did not notice a difference. Although I would have liked to test it while I had it...there was a thread on here where you can have your speed checked. I forget where it is.

I like http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and http://www.speedtest.net

4537kps down, 1305kps up

 

Ugh

I got 12.48 Mb/s download and 5.69 Mb/s upload with Comcast w/o boost. Where do I stand?

Check, http://speedtest.net/ world results.

ok

That's some fast speed guys!

In reality, if you're not downloading large files or backing up your data to an internet-based backup facility, you won't likely notice the difference. Web browsing & email is what most people use the internet for (including shopping) and that uses very little bandwidth. Even gaming doesn't use all that much bandwidth, rather it's how low your latency is. Also, the more computers sharing your modem/router, the less potential bandwidth you have. Personally, I wouldn't spend the $.

 

I got this, not sure really what it means but my net is fast without the boost.
