Summary

Learn about the PowerBoost speed enhancement technology.
Solution

Cox offers PowerBoost™ to all Preferred and Premier high-speed Internet customers. PowerBoost “makes fast even faster” by giving customers an extra “shot” of speed when downloading and uploading large files.

How PowerBoost Works

The PowerBoost speed enhancement technology gives Cox High Speed Internet customers a speed burst when they need it most – when downloading and uploading large files.
PowerBoost works by utilizing additional capacity on Cox’s fiber-hybrid network to give customers a short “boost” above and beyond their normal speeds (“fiber-hybrid” systems are those with both fiber and coaxial cable).
The availability of PowerBoost depends on the availability of extra bandwidth on the network at the moment the customer starts a large download or upload.
PowerBoost is exclusive to the cable industry. DSL does not offer this feature.
When PowerBoost is available locally, Cox customers do not need to sign up or activate the boosts manually. The network will automatically detect when a user begins to download or upload a large file (such as a picture, music, movie or multi-media file), and look for extra bandwidth it can utilize.
Each PowerBoost lasts a few seconds and is estimated to increase download speeds up to 29% for Preferred customers and up to 25% for Premier customers, and increase upload speeds up to 33% for Preferred and Premier customers.
