Re: New Internet Tiers Now Listed on WOW's Site
just upgraded to 8/1... still on the phone with them when my modem reset and i had the new speed.... very fast :P
also added phone, since at&t was going nuts with the fees and shit, so this is pretty sweet. |

So I've been on the new 15/1 speeds for just over a week now. So far so good. Consistantly getting 1.8-1.9MB/s down and right at 1mb/s up. I'm also now on the advanced modem and the phone service is great as well. |

I'm on the 15/2 plan. I called to cancel RR. Dropping off their equipment tomorrow.  |

Nope, I consider the vast majority of TV to be junk with commercial breaks. The things that I do want to watch, I use alternative means.

Sure. I was paying $106 for advanced phone and the 6Mb tier, then the upgrades came around, so I checked the wowway site to see what price difference would be for the 15/1 tier+adv phone and it was $84, I think. $89 after tax. These numbers may not be exact, but are within a few dollars. Definitely worth checking.

It turns out that I was paying more than I should be for the new bundling. Was at 8/1 now 15/1 and saved $14 lol. This is awesome. You usenet users out there should try nzbplayer. With these speeds I bet 720p could be streamed.

I've tried wireless, but don't bother now. EDIT: I would have though your wireless would have been good to a higher speed though. I am unfamiliar with the 120VAC plug. What does this do exactly? |

said by Inflex :Is that a small "b", as in bit? If so, then you really need to call wow. Basically 1 MB/s which is 1000kbps. Wireless I can only get up to 760kbps though. Kinda sucks. I need to figure out a way to get my laptop wired or have a port for it in the wall. |

Yeah no change for me. I am moving to a new house next weeks so I'm gonna buy the 15mb/2mb one. I think it will be worth $72. I have the 6mb one now. I'll report back and let anyone interested in getting it know of any differences. I'm an IT tech so if there are changes I will really notice them. Good day!

I max out at about 1.7 up. And, it's infrequently that I get more than about 14.5x down. But, it's good enough for government work for me.
I should realistically only be getting 15/1. So, I'll take a little slower on the down for a little faster on the up. |

well the tech came out today and installed my service but gave me the old white webstar modem and I don't seem to be getting anything faster than 1.5 up not the 2 like some have been posting.
What modem has everyone else been getting the 15/2 speeds with? |

I called again trying to get WOW to bump me up to the 15mb plan but no dice (tried yesterday to). My voicemail hasn't been working (turns out they never activated it) so I figured they might bump me up but no soup for me:( |

A little FYI, they aren't called backbone cities. They're called POPs. And AT&T has one here in Michigan, in Detroit. But WOW has their own speed tests, right on their own network. So if you can't get good speeds with their own tests, then there is something wrong. |
