| Speed Boost is good for Cox
Vegas 10,000 down, 1,000 Plan $55+ per month. Average speeds test speeds are far beyond advertised, when using cox speed test site.
»test.lvcm.com
Testing with Cox Communications the results will be close to 30,000 down and a 1,000 upload. Using any other test site the speeds are 10,000 - 13,000 range, with 1,000 as the upload results.
Using my stop watch an downloading a known file size from microsoft, I am getting about 7,000 or 8,000 before or after midnight.
The trouble with power boost, there is not a website that will measure the real speed discarding the first few seconds of boosted speeds. Using Cox a true speed test can not be calculated or measured on any website I have found...
Overall I feel Power Boost/Speed Boost is neither, but it is a good advertising gimmick so they do not need to increase Internet speeds, or lower prices... Makes it impossible to document when your Internet speeds have decreased.
