Since I have noticed some things changed on my modem.... I have been testing my speeds and I like what I am getting.....

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off |

| And what is wrong with powerboost Rob? Would you like Cox to take away your powerboost?
I love powerboost, I think it's great. Pulling 30 Mbit's for the first 20 MB's of file downloaded, and getting that same boost when uploading a 10 MB file is great. Every webpages loads as fast as possible, as do e-mails, etc. I also spent a lot of time on NewsGroups, and having Powerboost really helps because most of the files are broken up into 20 MB parts anyway. |

@cox.net | To Cox Usenet or 3rd party? Using which client, some provide inaccurate speed ratings. |

I've used NewsHosting.com which tends to get me the best speeds. I've used other 3rd party sites, but didn't get as fast speeds. I use NewsBin Pro and depending if I am using NewsHosting or some other company, I have between 8 and 20 connections open. |

Connections to the Cox newsgroups servers are limited to 4 x 512kbps. Your modem is easily capable of reaching those speeds without PowerBoost and therefore you will not see PowerBoost in that situation. |
