Comcast Redefines "High Speed" Internet Access


Comcast High Speed Cable Internet has introduced a new product that will redefine broadband services for residential and small business customers. Aptly named, PowerBoost™, Comcast's enhanced service is offered at no additional charge, does not require any additional steps or software downloads, and will work with the customers existing harware. Comcast customers will automatically receive the service as it is rolled out in their area.

According to the official comcast press release,
PowerBoost technology utilizes additional capacity already built into Comcast’s advanced fiber network to provide customers with extra bursts of download speed – up to 12Mbps and16Mbps, respectively, on Comcast’s 6 and 8Meg services.

PowerBoost™ will enable users to download 3 mp3 files in about 6.5 seconds, or a game file of 686MB to be downloaded in only 12 minutes as compared to 61 minutes on a 1.5Mbps DSL internet connection. The time savings are huge when considered many broadband subscribers are still operating at 256kps.

I read with interest this Blog on Internet speed. I feel I have very good experience in DSL and in getting the best from it.
I have tried what I believe must be all the patches/software available that claim to boost your Internet and so I felt I should write a comment@
Some products work a little and most were just rubbish and were too complicated and many were full of spyware. I only ever got one product to work with any significant improvement in Internet speed and that was a product caled Full Speed by a company caled Versis (www.getfullspeed.com). This worked very well indeed and was totaly automatic to use and infact surprised me with the speed gains after seeing so may others being so poor.
My download speed doubled and my web browsing (page loading) was about 5 times faster.
I hope this information helps in adding something to this Blog.
