| No Newsgroups? The newsgroups was one of the only things keeping me on Time Warner. If newsgroups go away, it looks like I'll be switching to DSL at some point.
I currently have Roadrunner Turbo only for the upload speed (10down/1up), and frankly I could get DSL for significantly cheaper (3down/0.75up), but looking at it from a financial perspective of going to DSL and having to pay for decent newsgroups, I would be paying less to switch to DSL.
I was thinking about switching providers a while back, but with Time Warner including newsgroups, I felt it to be a better deal, now if they don't offer them anymore, what is keeping me here? They still haven't fixed my signal issue where on hot days sometimes my upstream goes so high that the modem drops. Of course I don't hold TWC totally responsible for that, it's also the apartment building I'm in with RG59/U lines (built in the 70's, probably wired for cable in the late 80's/early 90's). |
