Can someone explain what is powerboost [or turboboost]?
I look at options for Comcast or Cox and they offer things like 16Mbps and 2Mbps upload with Powerboost. What does it do, and how does it affect downloads [like a 200 meg file]?
Ajay, my question deals with internet connections, not cars.

not sure wat powerboost is but as its a registered trademark of the company it could have something to do with the broadband exchanges. As for 16mb broadband a 200mb would download in under 5 mins

Each car is equipped with a unique PowerBoost system, a mechanism to provide short bursts of increased power to create additional overtaking opportunities and action throughout the race. By changing the engine’s parameters, the system can give the driver additional power over a limited time during each race to take the car from the base 540 bhp (400 kW) to its maximum power of 600 bhp (450 kW).
The PowerBoost is driver-activated by a button mounted on the steering wheel. The driver will be able to use it for a brief period and for a set number of times during the Sprint (4 times) and Feature races (8 times), and may use it for the entirety of a single lap during Qualifying.
