the "blast" service gets you up to 20mbps download speed. Mine is a bit less because I still use Windows XP, but I still routinely get >10mpps.

The slower service they offer is up to 6, I think, but since I really don't watch tv much, I opted to downgrade tv and get the faster internet for the same price.

I know everything is relative (and I'm just coming off two years of relying only on a cellular device for internet, but this certainly seems quite adequate in terms of speed)
