Re: Get Powerboost Technology Today...

We have had this speedboost thing here in SoCal where I live since last year. It helps when it's working. For the last I think...3 or 4 months, it hasn't been. You really do see a difference. It's almost as if you are actually getting the speeds TWC advertises, but only for a few seconds.

Although I signed up for 10/1 service I consistently get 17Mbps download and 2Mbps upload at my place so I guess I have permaboost!

consider yourself lucky - you're the only guy with TW anywhere outside of the NYC who's supposedly has powerboost...

I'm more inclined to believe that people in competitive markets are just seeing a speed upgrade - not powerboost.

Re: Get Powerboost Technology Today...

That's exactly what it is and of course it's not documented anywhere. I see speeds of 17/2 and I am in a FiOS area.

Easy tiger....

I most certainly do not consider myself lucky, nor was I bragging. TWC is the antichrist, and can go to hell. My speeds have been consistently around 1.5 mb for about 4 months and no higher than 5 mb since I signed up for their damn service 11 months ago.

I'm on a 10/1 package. Woohoo.

Speedboost is crap....I have it and you can definitely tell when every download starts out at nearly the speed of light and then it suddenly drops to the normal 1.5 to 2 mb. I have had 7 techs come out, 5 different modems and two line changes. Their techs are either super idiots or the head honchos don't like to send anyone out for a friggin line maintenance check. On the other hand, maybe the friggin NODE IS TO OVERLOADED YOU CHEAP PIECES OF ****.

I never met a tech I liked, so no pretend techs posting wannabe technical responses for me to post modem info and other stuff like that.

If the upstream/downstream channels were overloaded the bandwidth wouldn't be available for you to get the initial boost of speed. Overloaded channels present with universally crappy performance; you've got something else going on.
