Re: It's Comcastic...

said by mod_wastrel:

I just checked (my area)... that's 12/2 with PowerBoost--so it's really just 6/1 (more or less) anyway. Yeah, PowerBoost can be better for some (or even most) things, pointless for others, and worse for a few things. Is it worth an extra $2? Meh.
Check your reading comprehension, 12/1 comes with PowerBoost. Not that you get 12/1 because of Powerboost.

My "reading comprehension" is fine. I could, however, take exception to their ambiguous writing:

"Download speeds up to 12 Mbps with PowerBoost."

could be interpreted either way (and since I haven't been a Comcast customer in years, I don't really care which): "with" could mean (1) "using" or (2) "plus" (but since I'm not presently a Comcast customer, I don't have a current point of reference... which also means I can interpret it any way I choose ). However, the last time I was a Comcast customer, they made it a point to use the PowerBoost max speed in their "up to" promos and not the pre-/non-PowerBoost speed... if that's changed, well... good for them... Bravo!
