TIme Warner Road Runner PowerBoost

For those who have TW Cable Road Runner Internet Service, it just got faster again -- this time for free -- sort of. If you are a Road Runner Turbo subscriber ($10 a month extra), you now get the new add-on called PowerBoost for free.

Following is the copy that came in the email -- sadly, almost two weeks after the PowerBoost debuted, so I've been without it SINCE YOU HAVE TO POWER OFF YOUR MODEM AND RE-POWER IT ON FOR THE POWERBOOST TO BE ACTIVE. Once done, I could tell a significant speed bump in the way pages pop onto the screen.

Read the following and take advantage if you have RR Turbo service already:
Dear WILLIAM:

As part of Time Warner Cable’s commitment to provide the latest in technology and innovation, we are pleased to announce that effective Tuesday, July 29, we enhanced Road Runner Turbo with PowerBoost™. Now when bandwidth is available, on our Advanced Fiber Network, Turbo customers will experience faster download speeds (up to 16 Mbps)!

PowerBoost will last for the first few seconds of a file download. Once the PowerBoost burst is complete, your download will continue at your normal blazing-fast speed. PowerBoost will jumpstart a large file download and automatically reduce the overall download time.

PowerBoost activates automatically when network capacity is available and is FREE with Road Runner Turbo!

To ensure that you receive the full benefit of this new enhancement to your Turbo service, you may need to "re-boot" your cable modem by unplugging and re-plugging your equipment.

Sincerely,
Time Warner Cable Customer Care
