How much does it cost to register a business in South Carolina? I know a couple of people in California with business licenses; they don't seem to cost all that much, and can be registered to a residential address, as long as the type of business doesn't violate any local codes.

He or she will be happy to sell you a connection. You can even have a business connection AND a residential connection in the same location. Just be sure you order the residential stuff first.

I have residential TV, phone and Turbo. Plus I have a RR Biz Class account at the same address.

They just have to create a sub account in their system for the business service. Then they'll happily take your money.

About six months ago, I noticed that I was having some strange speed issues (nothing over about 500K) and suspected line problems. I power-cycled the cable modem to see if that would help and I have been running at 15/2 ever since. I think that they bumped the Business Class 7/1 up to 15/2 in the Columbia area. Needless to say, I have not called to complain!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20349385 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:26:15 EDT Re: Internet Speed in Columbia, SC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20344298 war59312 : 15/1 "is" coming sometime in August. :)

They have already began offering 10/768 in some areas.

Will: What about speed
upgrades, 8mbps is not enough. Doubt it since no real competition. Just
wondering.. Though I do see there is a 10mb business account. How much is that?
JimmyW: William, you can upgrade the speed upto 15 Mbps without going for
business account.
JimmyW: If you want to go for that then you will get more e-mail account
space too.
Will: OK Sweet, how much?
JimmyW: If you want to upgrade for this plan and want to know the price and
features details, then you can get in touch with the concerned department on
this number : 803.252.2253 or 866.892.7201
JimmyW: They are open from 7am-11pm.


If you call now though they will lie to you telling you its not available. If you push hard enough they will finally tell you that it is coming in 4th quarter of 08. I got a tech support rep to give me a month and she said around august, she refused to give me her name. She said upload speed would be only 1mbps not 2mbps like everywhere else. :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20344298 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:28:33 EDT Re: Internet Speed in Columbia, SC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20218000 killeralibi6 : Road Runner Turbo is the fastest.

I know they have TWC.
The website says they only offer 1.5, 5mpbs, and 8mpbs.

Do they offer 16mpbs like other cable companies and their website is not up to date or is TWC behind the times?
