What is My Speed Boost?
Brief intro, Exetel is Australia's largest independant Internet Provider which recently acquired by Company Superloop Inc, who also own the registered trademark for Exetel's new exiting customer product called My Speed Boost.
My Speed Boost is a new customer focused product allowing their Internet Users (over 110,000 customers) flexibility to either turn up or down their internet speed at the users command.
Enabling users to boost internet speed serves purpose for times of heavy internet data usage whereas a family of 5 are all trying to watch Netflix, Stan or alternate online streaming services or perhaps it's a raining weekend and the kids are downloading XBox games and the parents are streaming TV, by using My Speed Boost the benefits are, you will have a higher bandwidth which will minimize the affect on say Netflix dropping out for example, so it's moreover a user enhancement product conveniently giving control to Exetel's customers.
How fast is Exetel's My Speed Boost?
My Speed Boost is not a question of how fast, to explain simply, when you decide to utilise the My Speed Boost feature your internet speed simply doubles (+) your plans download and upload capacity, pretty much upping your plan to the next tier without the needed costs involved of calling up customer service, upgrading plans, new contracts and the rigmarole we are currently used to. However, the fastest speed you can achieve is the 500/50Mbps plan however mentioned above, you'll have to currently be on the 250/25Mbps plan to achieve, I hope you catch my drift.

Can I add My Speed Boost to Exetel's Lightspeed Plan?
Unfortunately, Lightspeed 500/50Mbps are not included in the offering, but who knows in the future once technology, telco hardware and capability furthers, I'm sure Exetel will conside the 1Gbps Supersonic speed boost!
