I liked them. They had a really great tiered service back in 2001 when I was in Austin. Prices were good and the service was better than Time Warner. Support was spot on as well. Of course it's been a while since I was in their service area. They still doing pretty good as far providing service and support. |

They have been having financial difficulties for some time and I think that is what caused their customer service to go down hill.
last year when I looked, there prices were just slightly higher or on par with TW. However, it is a great failsafe if TW decides to implement caps.

Though I'm no fan of a mere 1 Mbps upload speed, their fiber does 15/4 (awesome...plenty enough download and very good uploads) and TWC's nodes are getting overloaded here so PowerBoost only does something for Standard users. |

Since when did this become a licensed technology? Cisco has done this for what, almost 10 years now in the corporate world?
I think I will patenent the drive thru window and then license it. What kind of idiots do these cable companies hire to do PR? |

Cleveland, OH | Comcast developed this technology for their network and put a patent on it. Which gives them the right license it. Do they charge other cable companies? probably not. |

| I don't believe so. My understanding is that DOCSIS provides the ability to dynamically uncap/burst connections. I believe "PowerBoost" is Comcast's trademark name, hence the licensing.

Bolt is probably based on the Docsis 1.1 capability to utilize SfMaxTrafficBurst in the upstream and downstream service flows. |
