Akron, OH | No surprise TWC is cheap Let competition run its route. The only way U.S. internet speeds will ever be up to global standards is if ISPs continue to increase available in-home bandwidth. As far as TWC upgrades are concerned "Surgical" couldn't describe their tactics any better. Currently in Ohio, I have sat back the last couple years and watch TWC bandwidth increase everywhere but here, because plain and simple there is no other competition in the state. Although Ohio currently has TWCs powerboost giving me speedtest results of roughly: 30mbps/768k, I think we're the only state left that does not have a 1mbps upload speed. From what I have heard TWC does not support file sharing, but at the same time, keeps their upload speeds lower than other ISPs. This is to ensure them that their customers are not the ones sourcing files to be shared, therefore not making them legally liable. So I am fine with their download as much as you want, just don't source attitude, but if they ever release DOCIS 3.0 you can bet there will definitely be bandwidth caps. By the way I like to thank Comcast for starting what will soon be a downward spiral effect on internet users nation wide. |
