Comcast Testing 'Economy' Tier? > Time Warner

Time Warner

Here Time Warner has the $24.99 deal ad a speed of 256/128 which is Bad deal. Yeah I won't pay it.

Thats why I got DSL $12.99 a month 1.5/384. I also need the phone line for fax machine; so the deal is worth it to me.

have you tried? Fax over VoIP works very poorly.

Time Warner is digital phone, not VOIP. There's a difference.

Have you tried faxes over AT&T or Verizon's POTS in some of these cities in Texas? They all have problems

Yes, faxes and alarm systems on 100% internet based VOIP are iffy. However, these on-network based digital phone services have built-in QoS which does lead to a much better success rate with faxes (older machines, however, seem to have more problems).

Locally, in Milwaukee: Time Warner Road Runner 'Lite' is $26 (768k/128k, regular 5Meg /512kbps = $44.95 or ($35 w/contract), Turbo is also available

DSL is available as well from AT&T / Resellers:
From AT&T directly:
Upto
1.5 Meg /384k = $19.99 /month
3Meg/512k =$24.99/month
6 Meg /768k = $34.99 /month

Reseller: (Add $10 per month not prepaid)
1.5 Meg/384 = $9.99 /month (prepaid)
3Meg/512K = $17.99 /month (prepaid)
6 Meg/768k = $44.95 / month

Note: the reseller pricing listed here is for resold AT&T DSL services.
DSL services listed require basic phone service.

Here in Bowling Green I have only Time Warner internet, no TV, at 5/384 for only 34.95 for 12 months.

Exactly. DP may still be VoIP, but it remains completely separate from your HSI connection and never leaves Time Warner's cable infrastructure as VoIP data. As well, this gives them the opportunity to use higher quality codecs with a higher bitrate so it creates less havoc with fax or data phone connections. Last I read somewhere (this is largely an assumption mind you though I vaguely remember reading an article on TWDP somewhere with this.) that Digital Phone uses the same or similar codec to what most PoTS providers use for digital interconnects between regions.

I've faxed and made dialup connections on my DP line numerous times without a problem. I am regularly capable of getting a stable 48kb/s connection depending on which access number I dial into.

Digital Phones is a marketing term. What TWC does is more akin to traditional POTS remote architecture. The chief difference being they bring it closer to the home.

yeah ok the phone service alone is $39.95. I have my internet and phone from ATT for that price. Again I am not paying it. If I am able I drive my costs down not up.
