I guess 15/2 tiers and PowerBoost is only good enough for San Diego and not the rest of SoCal .... =/

Has anyone else in the Lancaster/Palmdale area experienced powerboost yet other then Punker? I have reset mine a couple times and have yet to see any speed increases.

How do you get it to work? My speed is pure SHIT at slightly better than ISDN speeds. Why can't drop the gimmick and give me the speed I'm paying for?

Hey Fuc$ you hobgoblin! Nobody asked YOU! /Preemptive strike!!!!

I haven't seen anyone in the LA divisions of SoCal get Powerboost yet, not even Punker...

You'd think they'd officially announce it if they did...

they were saying September for this area

i hope they GIVE higher Static speeds

as i am more for the Higher UPLOAD then DL

att = 1.5mbps on the upload (uploading files is 50% faster!)
TWC = 940 on the upload

power boost is just cheating on speedtests btw

reply to Ream0
I didn't do anything to get it. I find the boost works best at night and it doesn't take very long for it settle back down to normal speeds. I guess it's okay if you're downloading 1 or 2 mp3s otherwise it really is just a gimmick. Punker is correct in stating it really does cheat in
speed test. While preforming a test the initial burst will spike well over 30 mbps but quickly fall somewhere between 18-20mbps.

If the test lasted any longer the speed would drop even more.

The U-verse 1.5mbps upload is really nice. Probably one of the most "solid" upstreams I've ever had. The $55 price for "max" with no bundle discounts available is not so nice.

Powerood, what area are you in?

What plan do you need to have to get Powerboost?
Is it only available on the 10/1 package?
