COX Las Vegas in Cox Communications Posted June 20, 2010 Hi All, I'm also in the Las Vegas area (Boulder City) and have Cox HSI, I have there "Premier internet with PowerBoost" PKG. Advertised at 18 Mbps/1.5Mbps and up to 22 Mbps/2Mbps w/PowerBoost . I've just had it hooked up for the last 5 days and still working on the configuration and tweaks, after Cox was here three times and no improvement. This is what my tests look like, not quite as advertised though. Any help would be appreciated.
