I am not convinced that pure speed is the competition. I think you are comparing the total package. Price, convenience, customer service, channels selection and a multitude of other things.

Webster, NY | said by hobgoblin:"Can time warner compete with fios?" I am not convinced that pure speed is the competition. I think you are comparing the total package.

But I do wish for better upload. 384 is getting old. Otherwise we are happy with what Time Warner services we do have. And best of all ? Reliable service with no down time. |

I'd like to see someone posting their 50/5 speeds and latency during the peak hours. Wonder if its worth getting it. |

I wonder if they would have to pull a new line into my house if I order it. Would it be on the same old crappy nod? lol |
|
| You dont need a new line as long as your current one is functioning properly. It's the same coax technology. |

I'm on 7/~400ish (maybe it's SUPPOSED to be 512k but I never get it?). I'd trade two megabits down for an additional half of one up. Seriously, I would. 5/~900k or 5/1? Sign me up, I don't care about those extra couple megs down!

Very tempting. Will there be a download /upload cap? With 50mbps down, you can transfer a lot...
Also, what is RR/TWC policy on hosting? My port 80 is accessible, so with 5mbps upstream, could host some web stuff, just don't know what TOS are.
Anyone? |

I have RR Turbo - I get 30Mbps down and 1Mbps up.
I pay (as part of a DTV package):
37.72 for RR Service
9.96 for Turbo
I think this is an incredible value. Here is the detail breakdown of the DTV package (from my bill)
09/12-10/11 Road Runner Turbo
$9.95
09/12-10/11 DVR Service
$10.95
09/12-10/11 DTV Value And Hs
Package Allocation $.01, Converter $5.87, Basic Service $12.72, Remote $.24, Standard Service $37.85, DTV $5.54, Road Runner Online Svc $37.72 |

It's available in NYC only......I'm 3,000 miles away.....I don't think I would dish out $100 per month anyway. That price is nuts. I think that the money I pay for Turbo is too much....However, yes, I dish that out.
I have a question....Does anyone know the prices and speeds in Western Europe, who is way ahead of us in Broadband?

Oh I think it is. For even cheaper price I rather signup with fios for 2 year contract instead of making contract with RR and get only 5 meg upload. And even higher price I wonder exactly what would be the price of it after making me contract and my bill is discounted. I will call and ask them. |

Very, very variable depending where you are and who your service provider is. Can't really say Europe is 'way ahead' of you it entirely depends on which part of Europe.
I have a 50Mbit / 1.5Mbit service with no download limits or shaping which is about 45USD / month. Most of the UK however maxes out at 24Mbit ADSL2+ |

I don't need 50Mbps for downloading right now, but I agree that there is tremendous room for improvement on the upload side. I'd absolutely pay more to get 3-5Mbps upload speed. Turbo is essential for me dealing with content production and publishing, if only because it provides 1Mbps uploads. I'd pay a reasonable amount more to get to 25-30Mbps for downloading, depending on the price.

more like 10/1 or 15/1 |

30Mbit is with powerboost.
Too bad the existing tiers won't be upgraded. $99 is too much, maybe with 20Mbit upload then it'd be worth it. |

5mbps up is terribly slow for Docsis 3.0. It just confirms that they will milk the customers as much as they possibly can. Give you a teaspoon of juice for a premium price. |

What's the upstream limit for Docsis 3.0? |
