Birmingham Ala. - October 30, 2008 – Bright House Networks announced today the launch of PowerBoost. PowerBoost is a new technology that allows Turbo customers to temporarily experience download speeds significantly faster than their current speed at no additional charge. With PowerBoost, Turbo customers will see download speeds increase while downloading large files from the Internet pending available network capacity. Road Runner Turbo with PowerBoost is available exclusively from Bright House Networks.
“We are very excited to be delivering this free, time-saving feature to our Road Runner Turbo customers,” said Karen Broach, President of Bright House Networks Birmingham Division. “PowerBoost will jumpstart a large file download reducing overall download time, and give users more time to enjoy the multitude of media available online, including that made available through RoadRunner.com, also available exclusively from Bright House Networks.”
The speed provided by PowerBoost is available to customers who subscribe to Road Runner at a specific level. For example, Road Runner Turbo customers with a current speed of up to 15 Mbps will now enjoy PowerBoost speeds up to 22 Mbps. Once a PowerBoost is completed, a download in progress will continue at the normal speed.
No file downloads are required for activation. The PowerBoost technology works with today's compatible cable modems, as well as home networking gateways and voice eMTAs (combination high-speed Internet modems and phone adapters).
“Our goal is to provide customers with quality service and with products that continue to make their lives easier,” said Broach.
