Is this normal for them to do? So basically you get a boost in download speeds for about a day or two?

no its on forever, its just temporary for each download. maybe lasting 2 or 3 minutes.

If you really want to test this ‘boost’ I would stop doing speed-test and actually download something with more ‘meat’ on it. evil6

I don't understand.  I use this thread as a place for my general questions, not the boost itself.  Now I have two very different results with two speed test web pages.  I'm not sure which one is right, but I was hoping somebody here would know

Is this "speed bost" you guys speak of permanent?


From the tech I talked to it is.  But they are putting boost in areas that have a higher demand so they say.

I'm boosting and my PFS gaming is lovin it.... smitten
