nice.

run a tweak test, and you may hit speeds closer to the 30/5 advertised

boost seems pointless to me. my bandwidth has never been the bottle neck

speed tests always report 7-8 mbps on my end..... but i guess thats enough for web browsing.

i usually use a download manager for big files, and then i get pretty close to ool's 15/2 speeds.

the question is are you going to actually make use of it.

most websites can't even support my current speeds, let alone boost.

downloads don't really bother me because i'm not really downloading 20 things at once, and when i am i really don't need all of them at the same time.
