I'm just afraid to see what my cable bill will be like once DOCSIS 3 is out. My bill is already so inflated paying 49.95 for 10Mbps down, 512kbps up. Imagine what they will charge for say 25Mbps down...yikes! Verizon has started working on my neighborhood.....one foot out of TW's door! |

| While your upload speed does suck, I'm paying $65 for 8/2 here  . Then again, back home in town TWC inexplicably offers 15/2 with download PowerBoost for $50/month, though there's really no competition in the area.
Funny how in NC, in an area where Embarq has 640k+ upload on most of their tiers, TWC has decided to continue sitting at 10/512 for the highest tier. |

Yeah Verizon is on the Flushing mode now. Big urban population. Yet is still missing other parts like mine. |

Yeah, our decade old upload speeds have never changed in the 10 or so years the service has been available here.
I have this theory that NC is TW's little psychological experiment on the public, seeing how long people will put up with sluggish 384-512K upload speeds before people crack and mass hysteria erupts and the crime rate suddenly spikes.
I mean seriously... You try spending 6-7 hours uploading a rather normal amount of high resolution vacation pictures to shutterfly... Meanwhile, the internet is unusable because when the upstream gets hosed, so does the downstream, and pages that took a second to load suddenly take 30+.
It's enough to drive most people completely insane. We've had AT&T U-verse available here now for about 5 months, and still no change in upload speeds from TW. |
