ComCast to Powerboost its network speed
-
-
Now that the US Congress has erased the Net Neutrality on the Internet, cablecos and telcos are now set free to privilege reasonable demanding contents on their network. Said differently: telcos and cablecos are going to provide different subscriptions. The more you’re willing to pay, the best quality of service you would get.
No. It’s just a gossip; at least until it changes its mind, Comcast, the biggest cableco in the US, nears the launch of its PowerBoost speed enhancer.
Via digital silence: “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.”
Big bandwidth consuming activities, such as video or voice on IP, will be smoother and more efficient. Yes, but not every application will be allowed ― get out of the way you freaking insecure Skype and damn pirate Bittorrent. The work is due to end before year end.
