Um - either you're just being silly or a troll or both ... either way get
your facts straight ....

Comcast has two residential tiers - Silver and Gold.

Silver is 6 mbps down / 384 kbps up

Gold is 8 mbps down / 768 kbps up

Powerboost applies to both .... and is a download speed boost to 12 mbps for
Silver and 16mbps for Gold when downloading small files.... typically on the
first 20 mb of the file....and then it returns to normal speeds on longer /
larger downloads.

See for yourself using various speed testing web sites

So - help me understand how you are getting ripped off?

He is right, Chuck. There have always been the Silver and Gold tiers.
Over the past few years the speeds have been incrementally increased,
but both tiers have always been there. As said also, Power Boost
applies to both tiers -- has since they first implemented it. No false
advertising or claims on their part.


CIAO!
