Time Warner Cable North Texas has launched PowerBoost. PowerBoost
is a new technology being deployed that allows Road Runner Turbo
customers to temporarily experience download speeds significantly faster
than their current speed of 10 Mbps. With PowerBoost, Turbo customers
will see download speeds increase to 16 Mbps while downloading large
files from the Internet when network capacity is available.
"We are very excited to be delivering the free, time-saving
feature to our Road Runner Turbo customers," said Robert V. Moel,
North Texas Division President. "PowerBoost will jumpstart a large
file download reducing overall download time, and giving users more time
to enjoy the multitude of media available online, including that made
available through RoadRunner.com."
The speed provided by PowerBoost is in relation to the level of
Road Runner service a customer is subscribed to. An example of
PowerBoost speeds are as follows; Road Runner Turbo customers with a
current speed of 10 Mbps will enjoy PowerBoost up to 16 Mbps. Once a
PowerBoost is completed, a download in progress will continue at the
normal provisioned speed.
PowerBoost is compatible with DOCSIS 1.1 cable modems and above.
PowerBoost is also compatible with Time Warner Cable's certified
home networking devices. Customers can visit their local Time Warner
Cable office or call customer care at 972-PICK TWC to make arrangements
for their modem. Additional information on PowerBoost is available at
