You should get naked....

Yes Sir!! :D

But honestly that sounds awesome, I'd take it up if you getting more than a mbs per $1 spent

If you were a hardcore gamer, I'd say it would worth it. But I know you're not so I'd say not.

I agree with Omega on this one. If you were a gamer, I would say yes. But knowing what you use the Internet for, I'd say that money can be spent elsewhere.

I would say yes but some sites like FA will still be slow, and at that speed of internet when downloading files you might reach the max speed some servers can send the data to you.

Ask yourself if you feel like speed has been an issues. With one person in the house, I would guess not, unless you operating heavy file sharing or constant streaming some serious video.

Well online streaming from sites like CBS.com, and if I get netflix, it seems like the quality isn't there... it's very grainy all the time, and it shows that my connect is only 1 bar out of 4, for whatever they use as a guide.

First things first........go to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and find out EXACTLY how much you are getting. My family had been living on about 4mb/s for a long time and we didnt even know. we were paying for 20meg service ....come to find out our modem was shit. went out and bought a new modem and it got what it was supposed to be.

You may be paying for 15meg right now but you might not actually be getting 15mbs ......so your service now seems slow. If you are getting less then 15mbs id say contact your provider and ask if they can trouble shoot your connection.

But if you ARE getting what your paying for and your unsatisfied then perhaps it might be a good idea...if your on the web a lot anyways watching movies and such.

That's the first think i check. I was getting around 14 which isn't too bad.

I have to agree with raverrabbit. We had been paying to RENT a modem from Comcast. For years. I asked for a new one and they said the old one was fine. NOT! There has been so many improvements since we first got it. AND it turned out that the amount we we spending we could have gotten the latest modern EVERY YEAR!

So we went to Amazon band bought the latest and greatest and saved about $50 a year by doing so... And cancelled the "rental fee" from them. As a matter of fact, the Comcast representative suggested going this route!!!

just think of all the streaming from cbssports for march madness you may have to do!

Does it increase your upload speeds, too?

goes from currently 1Mbs to 3Mbs.

Yes! Definitely worth it

Your upload speed doesnt really mean shit unless you upload videos to youtube or send large files to people over the internet. Download speed is what you are after.

Same company, or a competitor?

If you've got two competing companies, I'd call the one I was with and tell them I'm thinking of switching. Might be able to get a discount off the cheaper plan you have now.

Unless the speed of your internet connection is bothering you, I woldn't bother

Depends 15 should be plenty for 1 or 2 people. If ya got more than that get the upgrade, not a bad deal. I have 10mb cable myself, I live alone so is all I need.

It depends on your use. Are you downloading lots of blu-ray movies, or other multi-gigabyte files on a near daily basis? If not, then I'd say no, it it not worth it. I went from 5mb/s up to 24mb/s. It made a differences on movie downloads, but that's about it. The web and most other things hardly benefit from the extra speed, as most of the delays on the web are in the looking up phase. That part would not get faster as you increase the connection speed, since it depends almost entirely on the path to the remote sites.

If you play games, consider that very few games use more than 2mb/s. If you are in a house with three users on the net, and you are all playing such a game, you could be pulling 6mb/s at once, but only if each of you were at peek demand points in the game at the same time. There are simply very few things that need the sort of speed you are talking about, that would actually take advantage of it. Movies downloads would be the closest, but even many of them are limited in speed from the remote side. The only reason I am at 24mb/s right now, instead of 5mb/s is that Time Warner offered me a promotional upgrade for no extra cost for a year. I've had four people using the 5mb/s connection at the same time, with no noticeable slowdowns. Two of them were doing Second Life, I was downloading large files and one was streaming a movie at the same time. So, if 5 is sufficient for four people at once, your 15 should be way more than enough, unless you have a dozen people in your house, all using at once. I'd save your money for something more useful.

If you don't stream or game, keep it where you are...and then pay me the extra $30 a month :)

My main office gets 40M and it supports 300+ ppl.

I have a 20/2 now at home and streaming apps work fine. There is some buffering if it's 1080p content but otherwise I get no lag.

I would take a look at your network hardware. I could use a refresh depending on the age.

You gotta be aware at how the ISP manages their broadband service
