| [TW] RR VS ERLK VS POWERBOOTS
I am sorry for asking this question, I was satisfied with DSL $29.99, it get 3360 / 864, am I used to get at least 3mb down and 760+ up whenever I do the speedtest, that's extremely realities and fast. Recently I have experiencing low speed, I am down to only 800kb + down speed, while my upload speed remain as 760+
I know the reason is because of my phone line, am I am not satisfied with this cuz it had happened twice.
I didn't want to switch, but I want to know, since I live in 11373 zip code, and the only cable provider is TW, I used to have Earthlink. I just wanna know the following:
1. RR VS ERLK
ERLK has 6 down / 512 up
RR I don't know
2. I read some threads, that there are basic and standard plan for ERLK and RR, is that true? If so, how much each plan for ERLK / RR.
I also want to know the speed for each plan for ERLK / RR.
3. Does TW has powerboots?
4. People say RR is better because it's directed by TW, so it's reliable and speed is faster than ERLK.... |

said by j518  :3. Does TW has powerboots hehe...Powerboots, that's cute. 
No, no Powerboost on TW and nothing like that, AFAIK.
Anyway... RR standard is gonna be the same as Earthlink standard. I don't know the speed in NY, but here in Central Florida, they're both at 7-512 officially (more like 8-512).
Earthlink or RR, it doesn't matter, they use the same lines (the TW lines). The only difference might be in what they offer, such as newsgroups, e-mails, web space...and of course, price (EL can be a little cheaper).
Turbo should get you faster downloads and faster uploads. |

| hehe, I was in the same situation as you. I had Sprint DSL, and I had intermittent problems. I was on the fence about switching to cable, because everytime I came close to doing it, my DSL connection would be back to normal. Until I had a 4 day outage and finally got cable 
No regrets. |
