Re: Extreme exist already.. said by Queens RR :
they already have an extreme tier for NYC. Is 20/1... they still have it in their rate guide, but they dont offer it to select parts of NYC.
I did a triple-take over this past weekend while doing some routine maintenance on my father-in-law's computer. His ISP is Time Warner Central NY Road Runner, based out of Syracuse, NY.
Speedtest.net reported his connection at 20mbps/1. I couldn't believe it but there it was. |

| Tier 3 will tell you to find out the correct speed of RoadRunner you need to do 3 speedtests. Especially if you have PowerBoost. They have a RoadRunner Speedtest site of their own for each region. Check with Tier 3 for the web site. |

I'll check out other sites to see what they show next time I stop over to his house. |

Bethel Park, PA | I used to get over 30mb down at Speakeasy on Roadrunner when I lived in Nedrow, before I moved to a real area and got FiOS. It's fake, because it's that speedboost crap. I've got the 25/15(25) FiOS now and it's definitely faster than that fake TW speedboost |

 ·WOW Internet and..
1 edit | fake? LMAO!
And what is FiOS gonna be when it starts reaching problems? PowerBoost requires three speedtests before reaching the actual speed.
But at least their speedtest is OFF their network and NOT on it like VZ's. OOPS! Did i forget to mention that if you have cable Internet VZ's speedtests are FLAT OUT BOGUS!??!?!
And by the way? VZ didn't start building out FiOS until they were promised they didn't have to share it. only later to cherry pick the areas they want to offer it in. Cable is years ahead of VZ and can out build them any time they wish. Remember VZ HAS to rewire every street and city for FiOS. Cable doesn't as it only has to finish the last ~500 feet with it. Now who's ahead. And as far as speed? Cablevision is turely ahead of VZ and their so called Internet. |

| Proving once again that Denial is not just a river in Egypt... 
The chances of FiOS "reaching problems" are minuscule compared to what happens when cable runs into the very real limitations of their RF distribution plant.
It's called being "future proof", and your cable is 1970's tech. |
