| you need to update your modem Powerboost doesn't work because that modem is too old.
I have that same plan with comcast, 8mbps/768kbps.
I had that modem too, and powerboost didn't work. This is a wild guess but I'm assuming that modem is DOCSIS 1.1 and powerboost needs DOCSIS 2.0.
When I updated my modem to DOCSIS 2.0 (Surfboard 5201), powerboost worked fine! (about 16Mbps download and something huge upload!) | |

Roseville, MI | Re: you need to update your modem Just so you know, Speedboost doesn't work when hooked up through a router. I was getting about 15mb before I got a router, then after hooking it up my service went to the normal 6mb. I removed the router and it went right back up to 15mb. | |

Stevenson, MD | Re: you need to update your modem I hook up to a wireless access point connected to a router and my speeds are up to 16Mbs down and 2Mbs up. The router is an old SMC 7004. I suggest you try a different router if your current one causes a drop in speed. | |

It is possible that this particular head end has become over committed and that at some point, hopefully soon, Comcast will do something about it. I'll keep poking at it. | |
