For SoCal the RR Extreme tier has been 15/2 for $55 for a long time. I had it before switching to FiOS. And it was cheaper than Verizon's month-month price. Seems like this is a step backward.
That's what I'm on now. I might get the occasional speed degradation on Sunday, but other than that it's zip fast. Watching DownThemAll ramp to 2MB/sec on downloads without using the accelerator feature is a beautiful thing.

To the complaints about low upstream, it's obviously to discourage servers. You don't need that much upstream to download files, browse the web or read email - which is what the majority of customers are doing. A better question would be, why the severe lack of strong synchronous connections on the business side? I would expect to see 20/20 over there, but don't. Why not?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20984839 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:45:44 EDT Re: Stingy with the uploads much? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20715023 pspcrazy : I'd suggst against regular DSL get super awesome special dslextreme dsl :)

I think that they're stealing it from customers who have already been paying for it (by using "peering" or "throttling" in anticipated low-demand times)! I used to have a lot of bandwidth (which I paid handsomely for) and it's all but disappeared, beginning early this month (June 2008)! I have no high speed DSL service at all through most of the evening! No more working afterhours at home for me! VOIP went down and everything, and I have an invalid in the home.
Nobody told me squat, so I had to play "connect the dots", and now that I got the picture, I made an appointment with AT&T for regular DSL, sixty dollars cheaper per month! Time Warner, now you can "peer" the extra bandwidth you were shorting me for, and I hope you make lots of money from it, because you lost a good customer in me! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20714265 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:37:26 EDT Re: Stingy with the uploads much? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20708276 Dogfather : For SoCal the RR Extreme tier has been 15/2 for $55 for a long time.

I take it one of the mods has been misinformed? That or this article needs to be retitled to "launching in a few areas..." ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20708106 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:35:11 EDT Re: Stingy with the uploads much? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20708022 reelbigfish : It used to be the opposite. When I was in school, Time Warner in Upstate New York was at 3Mbps/384Kbps and Comcast was 1500/256Kbps, then 3Mbps/256Kbps. Comcast truly was the cable company left behind in upstream speeds until they upgraded to standard tiers of 6Mbps/1Mbps and 8Mbps/2Mbps.

TWC needs to make some moves and really needs to standardize more. I realize that the speeds are based on the local competition, but 512Kbps is quite paltry in comparison to most upload speeds these days. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20708022 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:18:54 EDT Re: Stingy with the uploads much? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20707978 anon : 1Mbps is pretty generous for TWC... 512k is the highest upload speed offered by any company where I live.

TWC must have one of the most VARIED networks among all cable companies when it comes to speed.

Most cable operators now offer a near or above 1mbps upload option. TWC can't even figure that one out. More than just pathetic if you ask me.

I would love to see what kind of effect powerboost will have on customers that TWC is slapping a pathetic 20-40 GB cap on.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20707978 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:11:56 EDT Stingy with the uploads much? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20707836 anon : Wow Very stingy the higherst tier is 20:1 ratio...
