what is a good download broadband speed. Mine is 4.17mb/s. Is that good or bad?

It's average. Do you have cable or DSL? I'm moving into an apartment that has cable speeds of up to 20 megabits per second. Cable speeds do vary and, at the low end, run around 5 megabits per second.

So - cable or DSL. If cable, call your local ISP and see if they have a package with higher Internet speeds.

I always use Broadband Reports tests to see what my up/down speeds are. Give them a visit - http://www.dslreports.com/tools.

Good luck,
