Re: [Extreme Plus] Rogers Extreme internet Speedtest

I have extreme plus 50/2

No that's Ultimate at 50/2.
Extreme Plus is 32/1.

You might be getting speeds in the 50mbps range when testing on SpeedTest.net though, thanks to Rogers Speedboost.

Speedboost from Rogers gives you a boost of speed for the first 10megs of data, then it drops back to the rated speed. SpeedTest.net shows this boost and why many people think they're getting faster speeds. It's a way for Rogers to deceive** their customers into thinking they're getting more than they pay for, and why Rogers really pushes users to test on SpeedTest.net as their way of checking the line speeds.

** I say "deceive" because they don't tell you about Speedboost when testing your line on SpeedTest.net, they just claim that's your speed, which is incorrect for any transfers larger than 10megs.
