Re: [TWC] Charlotte: Standard Has Powerboost Now?

said by CLT Usr :

That appears to be how they are planning on competing with ATTs faster uverse offerings.

When I made the switch to Uverse Max 18 (internet only) they tried to explain to me that Road Runner was faster because it had power boost. lol

RR turbo is what now? 55 bucks a month??
ATT max 10 (now 12) is the same price and has 3x the upload.

Told them to give me a call when they really decide to compete and offer at least 15/2. Even then I doubt I switch back, because I've got used to not having the slow downs during peak usage now that I have uverse for internet.
Since when is "Upstream Speed: Up to 1.5 Mbps" 3x 2Mbps?

Plus U-verse has a bandwidth limit. Anyone know what that 'CAP' is? I found searching "Ask a Question" that "AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet service usage is not limited to a particular size (amount)."

But in the "AT&T U-verse(SM) Offer Details" there is a line with "and does not include taxes, fees, or excessive bandwidth usage charges" at paragraph: "U-verse High-Speed Internet 24 Month Price Guarantee with no Term Contract: Offer ends 09/19/09"

What does that mean???? hmmmmmm.

@sbcglobal.net		 In Charlotte (the city we're talking about here) turbo only nets you .512 upload. Standard gets you a whooping 384.

I'm happy that you got 2 up. If we had 2 up I would probably still be a RR customer.
