Re: Nice
People will bitch about anything I guess. How many times has Time Warner increased the price on Road Runner and how many times have they increased the speed? I've only had the service since 2004, but in the past four years, it went from 3Mb, to 5Mb, to 7Mb to 10Mb, and has not increased in price until now, and it's for RR only customers. Road Runner is still $39.95 but $49.95 for RR Only customers now instead of $44.95. This is the first increase for RR here, and it's not even applicable to all subscribers. And it appears RR prices have stayed pretty steady across the country, so why all the complaining? Would you rather have had TW increase rates $5 every year since the beginning?
Two years ago, Time Warner doubled my speed on decreased my bill by $20. I was paying $69.95 for Road Runner Premium at 8Mb/512Kb, now I pay $49.90 for Road Runner Turbo at 15Mb/1Mb.
Why should TW, Comcast or anyone else practically give away service for $10. Cable companies have never promoted or have been known for low coast broadband. Their business plan is to offer faster but more expensive solutions and personally that's what I want and it seems to have worked out very well over the past few years, so why change. I am so sick and tired of the Everything for Nothing mentality.

| They are increasing the price on RR, their Digital Phone product and we all know how often they raise cable TV rates.
RR Standard has always been $47.95 here, with an extra $9.95 for Turbo ... and it's a pathetic 7Mbps/384Kbps or 10Mbps/512Kbps.
You must live in a competitive area. Enjoy. |

| In this instance, a whole $2 for broadband and a whole dollar for Digital Phone. Wow that's bank breaking right there.
No, my only other broadband option is the Verizon's lame DSL at 3Mb/768Kb, and that just became available two years ago thanks to remote terminals.
Wasn't your pathetic 7Mb less then half that speed a few years ago at 3Mb? Here's a thought, be grateful for what you have, and that this is your first price increase after getting speed increases.

| All of you who think you're so deserving, and want 100Mb broadband for 2 dollars a month.
Price increases happen, Time Warner for the most part have not increased prices on broadband while increasing speeds, and now after YEARS a price increase happens and people act like it's the end of the world.

I wouldn't mind the price increase so much, but the cost to provide that same bandwidth has gone DOWN ... they are now increasing prices and trialing ridiculous caps. Since my area has no competition, we have the same lame-ass 384Kbps upload that has been available since the start.
Luckily, I live in a small pocket of the Triad that has fiber available to me, so I get 15/2 from another provider. |
