Bright House Networks is the latest cable operator to license Comcast’s Powerboost technology, which delivers an extra kick of bandwidth for the first few minutes seconds of a download (or upload). According to the Bright House press release, Road Runner Turbo customers with a current speed of up to 15 Mbps will see bursts up to 22 Mbps, while customers with 20 Mbps service will now see temporary PowerBoost speeds up to 30 Mbps. It looks like they’ve yet to offer upstream Powerboost, something offered by several other cable operators who’ve deployed the technology.
