| and then there is powerboost. For most users the 12mbps tier will look identical to the 16mbps when powerboost is in effect. So... essentially the two tiers act/are the same, except for the price difference. |

@comcast.net | powerboost only work for the first part of the download. not the whole thing. the 16mbps is for the while download not just part of it. |

With my current 16/2 service with Comcast, I see speeds over 20Mbps down and 5Mbps up with PowerBoost for the full duration of 99% of the files that I transfer. It's not too often that I push a file big enough to exceed the 2-3 minutes of PowerBoost that is applied.
I assume this is another reason some customers are downgrading their service. |

I know what Powerboost is. You missed the part where I said "most users," as in those that typically always see powerboost in effect because they are not maxing out their connections for long(er) periods of time. |
