28mbs Powerboost?

Why even bother with Powerboost? From 25mbs to 28mbs?

Or is that a 28mbs upstream powerboost?

28Mbps upstream powerboost???? There is no way this you get 28 upstream powerboost. You'll just only get about 5Mbps to 10Mbps upstream according to Cox communications.

Unless they did upstream channel bonding, 28 Mbps up would be impossible, though it *would* be really nice. So yeah, 28 Mbps downstream.

While I agree that 25/2 for $79 is weak (I might test it for a month, but wouldn't keep it around) I suppose it's better than Qwest's 896k up DSL which ranges from 1.5 to 20 Mbps depending on your area. Oh, and there's that annoying 15% speed penalty with Qwest, but not with Cox.

The "28Mb downstream" is probably just uncapped powerboost and 28-33Mb is what you would see from a single otherwise unused DOCSIS channel.
