What is Boost?

How we connect has evolved, and we've become more reliant on upload speeds. That is why we created Boost — a feature you can add to any internet plan that will double your upload speed!

What is the difference between download and upload?

Download speed is how fast you can access data or information online (streaming TV on Netflix or Hulu, opening an email, loading a website, etc.). In contrast, upload speed is how quickly you can share and send information or data online (video calls, attaching a document to an email, file sharing, live streaming, smart cameras, etc.).

Who was Boost built for?

Have you ever had to turn off your camera during a video call because you kept freezing? Ever waited for what seems like forever to share a large file? If these sound familiar, Boost is for you. Boost is for internet users who rely on upload speeds. For more Boost applications, see the list below!
