Re: [TWC] TWC SoCal speed upgrades information
So wait a sec. If they are changing extreme to turbo, does that mean we get a speed downgrade, or what?
Now I am officially confused.  |

4 edits | I'm hoping that means we'll eventually be like San Diego: 10/1 standard, 15/2 "Turbo". But with Time Warner, only God knows. LOL. |

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.
