Ok, I have finnaly figured out my internet woes. For the last month, I was getting poor performance out of my connection. Even had tech guys come in and check my lines. They figured they were older lines with older splitter burried in the walls. When I ran speed tests, my d/l speed was about what I would expect but my u/l speeds blew hard. I concluded it was a problem with the modem and went out and switched it up with one of the newest models. Voila! U/l and d/l speed were pretty much were they should be so I am now considering bumping myself up to the I-Extreme but not sure if I would make use of it all. I do play a lot of online games and d/l large patches/demos/updates and such but do you figure it's worth it? I know it's only $10 more per month but is the difference that noticeable?
