Power Boost is handled on Cox's end; it doesn't require installing or 
doing anything to take advantage of it, aside from a DOCSIS 1.1 or 
better modem.  They recently raised their rates, I believe "Premier" is 
$69.99/mo, total.  I recently upgraded to the new "Ultimate" tier 
(50Mbps down) under a promotional offer to receive it for the same price 
as "Premier" for 1 year.
