Re: [ Extreme] Upgrade to Extreme Plus - is it worth it?
said by sbrook  :It will provide you typically between 13 and 16Mbps. So you should see improved download times of 25 to 30%. Only you can decide if that is worth nearly twice the cost. Thanks sbrook for your comments! I talked to a Rogers rep this morning who told me how fast Extreme Plus is. OK its fast! I am assuming that one sees the greater speed when downloading large files like movies & music. What about general surfing? Are web pages including images downloaded faster? I know they are probably dumb questions but I had to ask.
Sorry,
Elton

| As long as the source can send the data to you and the path to you over the net is fast, they everything you do online will be faster ... surfing, downloading ... you name it, it's faster.
It's rare though for anyone to see the full 18Mbps advertised to even Rogers speedtest. 13 to 16 seems to be the norm.
I love speed, even though I download/upload very little. When I've been on corporate nets, I find that there are too many other factors once you get above 10Mbps to make the additional cost worth it. But as I say, I'm not a major downloader. |

I don't like waiting. This arrangement is very hard for me to resist! I want the Internet to move as fast as I think I am thinking... 
Cheers!
