After killing 8 USR phone modems from lighting I went with OOL.
Online gaming was cool but i still had very poor pings.
Cablevision told me that Boost may help,so i got it.
Remember building my first water cooled Opteron PC with a 300fsb,XTPE.
Boost gave me the online speed I had been lacking.
There were a few game sites in England that I played daily.
Updates downloads patches would come close to 3meg in a sec.
Every time I visited DSLReports my OOL speed test results made the first
or 2nd page of the OOL tests, 32=33meg down 5meg up cool.
Each year my PCs get faster,game PC is @4300-4500+ for the last 12 months
I use all intel Nics with cat 6 and good shielded cable from pole.
Download speed drops every month,Upload is a good 5200.
Never see any any more 33meg. OOL results on result page.
For years OOL results were always +33000 not any more.
Now average DSLReports speed on Boost results is below 31000meg for Boost.
I can still post a good first page DSLReports OOL speed result @32+meg but it
is getting very hard to do time setting etc.
My average Boost download in USA is 10meg.
If I needed good reliable speed I would go with FIOS.
Do not expect to get BOOST and get 30 down.
It is sad to see so many poor result posts from a company that was once so good.
Long overdue review by john3850
