Powerboost is 15 down to 12, 20 down to 16 and so on with their other packages.

Powerboost doesn't really happen all that often. Usually, it is when you first start out requiring a lot of bandwidth. It will start out at 15Mb/s and than drops and never really goes back up at least from what I notice.

More a long the lines of, you start downloading a file and get some super duper speeds, and Comcast goes "oh sh/t, hes getting to much!" and scales you back down.

I actually just learned about this
www.xfinity.com

and it is very interesting. Seems like you get slightly more for the same $$. Thankfully, for some odd reason, Chattanooga is becoming a huge hot spot, so we get it! Suckers! [thumbup]
Seems like I can upgrade to an xfinity package for the same price, get a few more channels, more HD content and speed my internet up from 12/2 (w/o powerboost) to 15/2 (w/o powerboost). Cool.

EPB is a leader in Fiber Optics, Comcast has had Fiber here for a while, though not much and now we get xfinity like a handful of HUGE cities just got yet we are so tiny, I really hope and think that Google will at least seriously consider Chattanooga.
Whenever Comcast has done their upgrades ever since we got Comcast at 1Mb/s download, Chattanooga is always the first to receive their increases speeds and services.
