there really is no reason for them to stop unless google fiber spreads over or near, but that hasn't dropped timewarner prices at all, I think it actually raised it by 20 a month.

This is my peak service speed. It lists as DSL, but it's fiber. Promise. Google Fiber is coming to the Charlotte area, but I don't know when. All I know is it was on the list of cities.

man instead of worrying about cows and old ranchers maybe the US should start building up infastructure. by the time we're able to get 20MB Down 5MB Up internet to the whole country, Japan and Sweden will have 1TB Download 500GB Upload internet for the whole country for free
But how would time warner be able to charge 15 MB/S for 80 dollars per month?
you get 15 MB/s for only 80 bucks?

check out the prices. $30 for 3mbps lmao. megabits are so dirty btw, disingenuous means of advertisement since a majority of people don't realize that a megabit is worth significantly less than a megabyte. need about 8 bits to make a byte.

45mbps down is the highest available :\ and there really is no reason for it. It's a fiber network and all the lines are brand new, they just laid them last year. They're just throttling to throttle because they're *** ***. Would love to have even 10MB/s down 3~5MB/s up, but nope.
ya that's pretty much robbery at that point but somehow monopoly laws don't apply to internet/phone services

edit: wait, not that terrible, still higher than it needs to be, but in comparison with other services...



I forget what I pay a month, when I moved they change my account # and deactivated my emails so now I can't login, I guess I should call them tomorrow about that, since it's about due.

80 for 15 is expensive considering a town over has google fiber 70 dollars a month.

btw, the Power package isn't even available everywhere. I only have it because my house has two fiber cables (that's right, it requires two cables running from your house) and my neighborhood had it all laid out to be compatible. tl;dr I'm lucky to have the blazing speed of 5MB/s ):

I wish I got 15MB/s for $80, I pay AT&T something like $75 for 5MB down 1MB up. Fun fact: it's fiber optic. Fun Fact Two: it's the fastest in my area. It's the most ridiculous robbery in human history and there's not ***I can do about it.

100/10 for free in my building, can get up to 1 gb/s but you'll have to pay the additional cost yourself

Not sure what type of business you're in, but unless there's a good reason to upgrade the speed business related, you're not going to get a lot of management to agree.

Would have to be on the balcony

Also you can download however much you want, I download sooooooooooooo much and no one gives a ***because they'd lose far too many customers. The police don't do anything either because we have too many people doing it.

yeah probably sucks any time that isn't now since you're sharing the hub with who the *** even knows how many people during the day. but at least the upload speed is enough to do decent quality streams 3~4 hours of the day :D_

Honestly mine's the highest I've ever seen it, short of the upload, I've seen that hit 7 before (I think), but I guess that's what I get for 2am on a sunday/monday night.

I haven't done a test in awhile since after the first week or so after I moved in, I haven't noticed any performance issues.

I didn't notice any in the last place once I got rid of my old router, the later model wrt54g's just don't compare with the originals, nor this e3000.
