Re: Concept of powerboost annoys me

I have the 8mb package... it rocks. As typical "Internet" use does not include large movie sized files/continuous P2P it is understandable why Comcast would use Powerboost as it is designed. It has a definite advantage for 95% of their users. Only power users ever really complain about it...

Pay the 10$ for 8Mb/768 if you want more continuous bandwidth.

where do you come up with 95% of users? maybe more like 50% but again you are a comcast rear kisser.

Powerboost helps 100% of the people 100% of the time... its fact!

As for my 95% claim... it is probably more like 99% since 1% is the number of people Comcast has labeled as problem powerusers. And they are the only ones that complain about powerboost, right!

Wow.. when does having an opinion that doesn't "bash" comcast make one a "comcast rear kisser"... that just seems like more of an immature answer.

If you dispute the 95%, why don't you contribute your rebuttal and post some opposing facts instead of name calling.

If someone doesn't like powerboot, simply call up and ask them to remove the pb from your modem.

Sydeburnz is correct that 100% of the people see benefit from powerboost kicking in. Dispute that!
