Comcast PowerBoost Increases Speed

[speedDemon]

Comcast has just rolled out a new speed upgrade to most of its markets called Comcast PowerBoost for its 6 and 8Mbps customers. PowerBoost will increase download speeds up to 12Mbps! It is already available for new customers. Existing customers will need to power cycle their cable modem to activate the speed upgrade.

Do you know the order by city and when I live in SouthEast Tenn.

I sure don't. I'll see if our friends at Comcast might be able to tell us when it will be available in your area but it might be tough to learn their rollout schedule at this phase.

They probably won't tell you. If they give you even an appox. date, they have set a deadline for themselves.

Ive had Comcast Cable internet for a few weeks now. Ive heard and read about the "Power Boost" that is supposed to be included with my service the 6mb package. I chose the self install, but How do I enable the Power boost? Is it a seperate download? And how do I know that power boost is even functioning?? Ive also been looking for Firmware updates for my Comcast cable modem with no luck. Certainley there are firmware updates out there?? I would just like to get the Power Boost that is supposedly part of my package, but as far as I can tell from all my downloading there really isnt any so called "Power Boost" that ive noticed??? What am I missing here??
I did have Qwests 4mb Dsl previously and I havent noticed much of a Speed increase with the Comcast 6mb service??? I may have to bite the bullet and call Customer Service!!!! regarding the "Powerboos" witch I obviously am confused about!!! Any suggestions?? Thanks
