 $59 per month about 2 days "Consistent, reliable, plays well with my VPN" "Other than the increased price and their attempts to charge modem fees, I have no complaints" "For $59 monthly we get solid 30/5 service and never have to call support. Pretty good deal to me."

My comments above say it all for now. We've had this service for over a year now. The price was a bit misleading as we ordered online and the price went up after 9 months unexpectedly, granted it was only $8. Then they attempted to exort their customers with modem fees so I gladly got rid of the piece of garbage Ubee modem, bought my own Motorola Surfboard and combined that with a new router and it's turned it into rock solid service. Knock on wood. Don't get their equipment if you can help it is my only advice.

Albemarle, NC | Ubee? Hi from Albemarle, just a bit south of you. I have the Standard TWC Internet at 15Mbps, and it too is rock solid. But my question: what's wrong with a Ubee modem. Mine works so well and never falters from my purchased 15 Mbps. What am I missing? | |
|  | | | Re: Ubee? I had terrible luck with mine. The signal quality seemed very inconsistent and it gave my work VPN fits with many dropped connections. We tried a few of them and the issues never resolved. Getting the Motorola+Buffalo combo fixed all the issues. | |

Albemarle, NC | Re: Ubee? Hmmm.... Regardless of my positive Ubee experience, I might try your Motorola+Buffalo scenario, or some other non-TWC device. I may not know what I'm missing. Thanks. | |

| Pricing You're getting 30/5 from TWC for $59 a month, and that's after one year so not a promo rate? That's only $5 more than I pay for 15/1 from them. Do you have other TWC services like TV or phone? Other competitors in your area like FiOS or anything like that?
I continue to feel like I'm getting a poor value for $$$ here. But I'm an Internet-only customer, no TV service so they probably put the screws to me.

| Re: Pricing No we have just internet only. When we signed up we got it for about $50 I think. U-verse is really close, but not technically available here. AT&T DSL is only 6M and we had that before and it was awful. We get good 4G service, but no Fios or anything like that. | |

| Re: Pricing Wow, I am impressed. I even have U-Verse service available at my address. To get 20/2 Turbo from Time Warner they want $70/mo. Forget that.
You're getting a good deal, IMO.
