Grande High-Speed Internet

Subscription to GForce Cheetah 12.0 High-Speed Internet required. Actual speeds may vary.

GForce Cheetah 12.0 High-Speed Internet with Bolt is not available in all areas. GForce Cheetah 12.0 High-Speed Internet with Bolt provides a burst of download speed when capacity is available above the customer's provisioned download speeds for the first few seconds of a file download.
