Re: [TWC] TWC SoCal speed upgrades information
New LE & Tap |
If you look at the Network Status pages, you can see Time Warner is doing a crapload of work. There are blurbs of "decongestion projects", and new 1ghz C-COR nodes all over the place.
Time Warner just completely re-deployed my whole neighborhood (with appropriate notice, thanks TW). My service just came back online. As I type this, there is still a swarm of TWC trucks going all over the neighborhood doing lord knows what. It's just like when they first upgraded my area to two-way service.
They did this a couple months ago at my Mom's house in Tujunga as well.
I snapped a picture of the new LE and tap that they just installed in front of my house. This new LE is MUCH smaller than the one it replaced. New signal levels are almost identical to the old ones.
They also have just renamed "Extreme" to "Turbo".

Now I am officially confused.  |

1 edit | Impressive... I'll have to see if the prices don't skyrocket with it.
I'll wait until my DTV and wireless AT&T are up this summer before migrating... but in general, I've had enough of AT&T B.S.
AT&T will only qualify me for 'Express' 1536/384kbps on DSL unless I stay on with DSL-Extreme, even though my line stats are good

I don't expect them to. Their HSI pricing is relatively high compared to AT&T and Verizon. TW actually reduced the price of Extreme sometime last year (before I switched). The cable companies in general seem to want to compete by upping speed rather than lowering prices.

| Yeah, I've seen the typical difference in pricing for cable to be 'keep the price, increase the speed', while DSL has been 'typically' low cost, lower speed options. Of course, Uverse prices aren't cheap, and DSL prices have shot up $5-$10/month, depending on package.
