Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade?
Wish TDS DSL would respond to the competition.. competitively priced of course.

said by boober321 :I'm actually in Milwaukee, and I haven't seen any speed jumps. I'm still at 5/384 (360 to be more specific.) Anyone else in Milwaukee seeing the jump? Yes. I live in Milwaukee and have standard service and went up to 7/512k. If you don't see it, try rebooting your modem. |

Wow, what a nice thing to come back to. My Road Runner Business connection through school went from 5\512 to 15\2. That is amazingly awesome  |

I have been seeing the DL bounce all over the place but the upload has been fairly constant, and the ping to the chicago servers on speedtest are much higher now also. |

North East Wisconsin upgraded as well.
Bandwidth Class 020: (Turbo)
Download Speed: 12709 kbps (1588.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 741 kbps (92.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Bandwidth Class 001: (Standard)
Download Speed: 6884 kbps (860.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 412 kbps (51.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
I promptly called and downgraded to 'standard service'.
No sense paying extra when 7/512 is good enough.

They claim they did this to offset at&t competition...but I dont get that. Sure VDSL is faster, but u-verse only permits internet of 6mb/1mb...MAYBE 8mb soon.
I am debating getting u-verse since I can have 4 video streams for DVR whereas it seems TWC limits me to 2 right now.

Yeah I seem to be only able to hit about 10 mbit down today as opposed to 14 just the other day. They are probably dealing with the growing pains now. . . |

Oh BTW - for Milwaukee users, an on-network speedtest:
speedtest.wi.rr.com
Simple Java based thing - in case the big Internet sites can't keep up with the faster tiers! |

You sure did. "Standard" users are 7Mbps down / 512kbps up now! and 15Mbps/1Mbps for turbo folks. (I didn't even have to reboot my modem).
Watch for new marketing strategies. The "lite" 768kbps RR is going to be promoted more as a cheaper option, and a moderate speed 2Mbps tier will be part of some bundles. Those are the "hooks", then you "upgrade" in smaller increments. (Website not yet updated).
A little "response to competition" from AT&T  |

What is this "Extreme" that people are talking about? Is there a class above "Turbo" in the Milwaukee area? |
