PowerBoost

If Cablevision has PowerBoost, imagine all of the speeds people could pull if PowerBoost allows you to get as much as possible out of the node. I wonder why Time Warner in my area hasn't done DOCSIS 3.0 yet.

CableVision doesn't have PowerBoost, which allows you to get full-capacity for a short period of time. OOL Boost allows it to be at max capacity ALL the time. That's pretty crazy stuff, and it'll only get crazier when DOCSIS 3.0 comes along.

Though you'll have to rent a modem from them for awhile...AFAIK 3.0 modems aren't widely available on the market yet.

Well then, if they're giving you "permaboost" then I can honestly say that despite those modem fees, it's worth paying it and getting that speed, especially if some how you can achieve 80+Mbps.
