| RR Caps
Frontier was one of the first providers to announce caps so now you're going back to them? Talk about doing business with the devil.
Also if you didn't know BOTH companies decide against the caps. TWC even posted a letter to all customers on the TWC website. |

3 edits | Trust me, I have been following this very close. Frontier has no caps right now and neither does Roadrunner. Time Warner is a bigger devil than Frontier in my eyes and the less money that I can send their way the better. If Frontier decides that we use too much bandwidth and shuts me down, we shall go back to the other devil. Right now, for what we do on the net, I do not anticipate that happening. Also, having decent upload speed is something that I have been complaining about for years. The local RR is stuck in the stone age with 384 kb/sec and I am testing over 800 kb/sec with Frontier. The less money that I send Time Warner, the better. Just my little way of letting them know that I am indeed unhappy with them. And ... Frontier is saving me money. When you are on furlough weeks, this is an important thing.
Also, I am firmly convinced now that the issues that I experienced last year were as a result of them trying to pump too much speed my way. After talking to the fellow who stopped by yesterday he said pretty much the same thing.. that with the limitations that are in place with the older lines, etc, that if he tweaked my connection more to get me a bit more download speed that the instability and latency could and would possibly return. |

| No, trust me you're not following it very closely. You don't make sense when giving your review. You left RoadRunner due to they were explorering caps. And when to a company that was one of the first ones to even say anything about it.
Sounds like you want it both ways, and are trying to do to bait and switch for promos. And if you do/are they'll catch on. |

2 edits | No you trust me.. I am following this very closely. I do live in one of the affected areas. I have no problem switching ISP's for the best deal and I have no trouble switching every year if I need to. But right now, I am bitter at Time Warner. When they were proposing these caps I was one of their customers. I was a Roadrunner customer and now I am not. Why the H is that so hard for you to understand. I do not want to give them any more of my hard earned money than I have to. The Frontier people stated recently that they are not going to institute caps. And I have also been told that those customers that are in a contract with them won't be capped. That is good enough for me. If they cut me off for excessive usage, then so be it. We don't use even 40 gigs a month here as it is. There are good, solid reasons to switch to Frontier here provided you are within reasonable distance to their CO's and DSLAMS. And now with 1 year contracts available and having the option to have stand alone service without the telephone service...it is all good.
So far, Frontier has done me right. The connection is rock solid. I see good speed. I see excellent upload speed. I am a happy customer right now. All is good and I get to go back to work tomorrow after being out the past week on furlough and that is a good thing too.
I wrote a review. And from what I can tell this is no place to get in a pissing match about what is what. If you don't like my thoughts and comments, then go complain to the management. I AM happy with the move that I made. I AM happy with the Frontier organization. I AM unhappy with the corporate big wigs at Time Warner. And I knew that since I live close to the DSLAM here that I would get acceptable service from Frontier. Furthermore, I was happy with Roadrunner. Good speed, no down time, etc. etc. I was unhappy with the lack of upload speed ... 384 kb/sec sucks. And yes.. at this time next year we could be very well ordering Roadrunner once again. Call it bait and switch or whatever you want to call it. But no way will I stay with Frontier if sometime during my one month grace period something bad happens with the connection here.
