hey dvd you never did answer my question what makes you think powerboost is a docsis 2.0 feature?
Because i remember seeing a post where someone wasnt getting powerboost with an old modem, one of the techs here said it was a docsis 2.0 function and needed to buy a 2.0 modem. or was that just a lie to get another old ass uncappable modem off the network?

info from a comcast faq

Will PowerBoost work with all customers' modems?
Comcast PowerBoost technology is compatible with DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems and above. DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems have been a standard for a number of years

since cox licenses it from comcast that most likely ths same modem requirement.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21240773 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:03:36 EDT Re: [KS] No powerboost upload http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21240428 anon : I've got powerboost back, here's my speed

Powerboost needs docsis 2.0, that upload channel type is docsis 1.1. theres your problem.
what's your source? I have a Dlink DCM202 and power boost works great.
look two posts up and you'll see the upload channel is using docsis 1.x. powerboost is a 2.0 option

There's no DOCSIS 2 specific technology for PowerBOOST (R) (TM) (LOL). Besides to hit 26Mbps on a DOCSIS 1.x is impressive. The modem itself should be capable of supporting above 1Mbps anyways, afaik the technology just changes your symbol rate.

At peak time, I got 25Mb down and 1-2Mb up. On Saturday, July 19, 2008, COX did upgrades in my area and I lost powerboost UL for good but I'm getting DL powerboost no matter what time of the day it is. I called TS and they didn't understand anything about UL powerboost but had a tech came out and he said things are working fine and there was nothing he could do. So I went online and chat with a tech, but he wasn't much help besides resetting my modem and still no powerboost UL. I got Cox Telephone a week ago and still no powerboost UL on an Arris TM402P. I got a three month old Windows Vista laptop (wireless), a Dell Dim5150 desktop (wired), and a Netgear WGR614 v7 wireless router.

Took the router out and plug the modem into the desktop or laptop for 15 minutes, still no powerboost UL, I'm getting the same upload speed I am showing you guys now. I PM'ed a tier 2 tech on here who contact someone in Wichita and the engineer call on the same day. He ask me what firewall and anti virus I was using. He was going to contact me back around 1 to 2 days but I haven't heard anything.
