I have wondered about this turbo-crap these ISP's are advertising. Isn't that just a momentary boost to fake (gimmick) the short speedtest, so they can say their speeds are better than actual?
Me wonders if a throughput test on a large file is the only thing that's reliable now days?
that is what i always go by... i will usually fire up my news reader or download a windows service pack from microsoft and measure it with an app called "netpersec" as well as my firewall meter, and windows explorer messages. usually they will all agree (or be close). you have to account for overhead when using meters like netpersec or others, too.

Indeed so Ray, My ISP uses "speed boost". On a speed test it shows up to 30Mb/s from my lowly 10Mb connection. -- 0111000001100101011000010110001101100101
