Yes, Impulse is the fastest

One of the harder to quantify advantages of Impulse IMO is that it generally has the fastest download speeds of anything similar out there. And I don’t mean one of those “faster in benchmark” but I mean faster by such a wide margin that it’ll basically go as fast as your ISP can go.

Quoting kyogre12, reply 2
It is very fast. A lot faster than Steam (for me anyway) and it's much faster than downloading something off Filefront, etc.

It is several orders of magnitudes faster for me as well.

Impulse used to be capped to download at around 250k/s, but now it seems to be able to range from 500k/s to 1,000k/s or roughly 1/4-1/2 of my maximum download speed (yes, I have a very fast connection).  That's a far cry better than it was, but still not as unthrotled as Steam or the Internet in general.  At least not for me.
