Re: [News] PowerBoost
It must be triggered by some kind of threshold level of network activity. Obviously, casual web browsing shouldn't be able to cause this, so I'd set it above 2 megabits or something.
I assume that the actual caps for the modem will reflect the absolute maximum speeds, while the policy that enables this will be some kind of QOS extension at the headend.
It's really intriguing, actually. And it makes sense, similar to Speedstep/other clock gating technologies for CPUs, but for broadband speeds. This could potentially be really neat.
