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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18878520 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 10:41:57 EDT Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18878380 boober321 : I'm actually in Milwaukee, and I haven't seen any speed jumps.

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.

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.

Simple Java based thing - in case the big Internet sites can't keep up with the faster tiers!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18835505 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 17:55:18 EDT Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18835465 bbgrunt0 : 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 :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18835465 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 17:49:26 EDT Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18826965 lonebandit : Turbo or extreme are one in the same.

15MB/1MB for $10 more per month ($39 total) now.

Whatever you're paying now, if you want to sign up for their Turbo service, it will be $10 more a month. I think it's worth it.

Here are the new speeds for Time Warner's Milwaukee division:

Standard: 7 Mbps / 512 Kbps
Turbo: 15 Mbps / 1 Mbps

Turbo is actually just a little more than twice as fast, for $10 more.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18815334 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 17:11:10 EDT Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18815172 Folic : lol well we are talking about WI in this thread]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18815172 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 16:38:13 EDT Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18815043 billy2313 : Depends on where u live,the cinci ohio area it's only 9.00 more...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18815043 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 16:10:48 EDT Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18814958 Folic : How much more exactly is RR Turbo/Extreme or whatever it's called, and would the speeds be 15/1?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18814958 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 15:49:23 EDT Re: [TWC] Milwaukee - Did we just get a speed upgrade? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18808237 plencnerb : I want to also add that I'm seeing the new speeds. Both Speed tests were done from the Speekeasy site. I do have the RR Turbo package for an extra $9.95 a month.

However, I'm not seeing the new download, and I know why. I have a 6+ year router that I know I need to replace. This is the only router I have ever had, going back to when I lived in Zion, IL and using AT&T's @home service.

Link is here if you are interested in seeing some old hardware. :)

But, I am seeing the new upload speed, and that is great news. Once I get a newer router, I'll be very happy! :)

Thank you Time Warner / Road Runner.

I've got residential, and just did a bunch of speed testing last night (and wrote a review of RR complaining of slow U/L speeds recently)...

Was: 5 Megs down, 360k up
Now: 7 Megs down, ~500k up

I'm pretty excited about the jump in UL speed, as RR was just getting killed on this compared to FIOS or even the DSL crowd...

...maybe I have to compliment them and edit my review...
