Re: Speed
~6000kbps down
480-500kbps up
do you have nyct or are you considering it? honestly, its the same thing as roadrunner... just without the cheezy crap they offer like free crappy antivirus software or a 30 day trial to realplayer.

Bronx, NY | No, just curious, I know it is the same thing as road runner, LOLOL, that's why I don't bother w/it. Advertised speeds for RR are 7/512. I get up to 6925/493 the highest. Speeds are higher in the boroughs for standard service. |

Bronx, NY | I am in a walk up as well, so I won't either. Why can't you get DSL? |

You forgot the most important part: unlike RR NYCT actually ties your IP to your MAC# so it is essentially a fixed IP service.
Besides they maintain their own name servers (work fine here).
Also you don't have to deal with RR CSRs - it's a better thing overall.

Speeds are higher in the boroughs for standard service. Strange. I have 10M/512k and I can max out any time (tested with my NSP) and this is the standard tier, for $45/mo, in Brooklyn.
Friend of mine has 12M/768k premium-tier RR in LI and generally speaking has no problems (sans opccasionally changing IP).
