(ratings well below consensus)

    Service is horrible. Internet constantly drops out and modem restarts. Video is choppy and audio drops out. Zero value for the outrageous amounts that TW charges.

    5/26/2009

    So my service has improved slightly however it took an email to one of the head honchos in NY who contacted the VP of Engineering. I just wish it didn't have to come to that. I will be dropping TW as soon as FIOS is available.

    You must be a TW technician. If not, use your brain before you post. Thanks.

    Overall TW Internet service

    If I had the choice, DSL is what I would have again. With all it's "not as good as" reports compared to cable, at least it was up ALL THE TIME. I've gone through 3 modems, countless tech calls, and four visits by "techs". Now there's been a major outage that lasted over 24 hours. All this in less than 1 year. I think what really makes me crazy is the never ending "press this for that..." when I call.

    Overloaded node?

    you could very well be on an overloaded node and maybe your modem is outdated? I have been a RR subscriber since late 2002 back when it was just 2mbits down here in texas and I have never had any problems of sort like what you mention having.

    I know someone at the hospital I work at that lives on the outside of town and the only decent internet available to their trailer park is road runner from time warner since its a tad too far for DSL and everyone out there gets cruddy speeds because that node is overloaded.

    Re: Overloaded node?

    Well, with one of my conversations with internal tech support, my node is not overloaded but overused. Here in Flushing, NY a lot of people are torrenting ALL day long. I'm just waiting for FIOS because I don't think anything TW does will improve the situation, not even with DOCSIS 3.
