I am from the twcny area, this morning after rebooting my speeds are as advertised 10Mb/s down 1Mb/s upload.
my problem is that only my desktop recieves these speeds, (it is wired too the router) but my wireless laptop does not reach these speeds. Are their any setting i need to change inorder for my wirless computers to achieve those speeds?
my router is a linksys Model # (befw11s4 B) and my wirless card is a (linksys wirles b) . |

you need to run the drtcp/ip tool on your wireless laptop. use google to search about it! |

They are probably doing it to give people a reason to stay if they were skeptical about coming to Time Warner from Comcast. It's a nugget to try to prevent converisons to FIOS. I know in here in Dallas, TW was not carrying the NFL Network until they were forced to.
I would have gone to FiOS from TW for that reason alone. But alas, I have DirecTv because of the NFL Sunday Ticket. |

you'll need to upgrade your wireless to "G". your b is maxed out. |

Insight Columbus RR is still at 3/375 or 384 (the modem no longer reports max speed, last time it did it was 384,000) |

yes, get the WRT54GL. the BEFW11S4 is the worst wireless router on the planet. |

I will stay a loyal user if RoadRunner is being preemptive. 7/512 is not enough for me to stay, but 10/1 now with FIOS still so far away is enough to make me feel like RR cares. |

802.11b with overhead will only ever achieve 6 Megabits... G will do 40ish. |

I was told by a guy at the time Warner booth at the state fair, that if your billing came out of the Syracuse office you should be included.
