Not sure, but I just called and had my 20/2 plan switched to $49.99 a month, change took place right away - saw it on the RCN account page.

So call now and get it switched to a lower price, I also saved my parents $30 a month for the same bundle)
I just called and tried to have my bill lowered for my 20/2 service. She stated this is only for New Customers for a 12 month period and only for Cable Modem service only, not bundled packages.
So if 20/5 is going to be $60, why am I paying $85 for 20/2?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23331855 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:56:26 EDT Re: 20/5 40/5 60/10 New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23326583 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23326583 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:46:02 EDT Re: Don't Rock The Boat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Dont-Rock-The-Boat-23324885 said by DJ_Kismuth:

I think RCN does a good job. From 6pm-12am it's reasonable to expect slower speeds.

If you keep complaining, they could implement metered billing, caps, throttling, and all that other ugly stuff Comcast does.

Is that what you want?
Ah no, but I'm not gonna just sit back and suck it up when I don't get what I paid for. It's an issue with the service that needs to be addressed for over a yr now. If DOCSIS 3 fixes a ton of it, then great. But if they can't get people those speeds 95% of the time even with DOCSIS 3, then we'll be complaining.

I been through ALL the trouble shooting. It's not on my end. I've had calls with RCN and they have seen my slow speeds and said they would correct the issue. Nothing has changed.

This was not the case about 1.5 yrs ago. I used to pull 20Mb easily. WTH happened? I just did a speed test before posting and rocked a blazing fast 6.5 Mb on my 20 Mb pipe. :uhh:
Whenever they are mucking around with their system, the speeds are inconsistent. They are now doing crush, DOCSIS 3.0, and who knows what else.

But I just had a slow upload problem that was caused by my router, not RCN. When I plugged my PC directly into the cable modem, the upload was OK again. I had to manually set the WAN port of the router to 100 Mbps rather than "auto-select" to solve the problem. So it could be a lot of things.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23324865 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:27:28 EDT Don't Rock The Boat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Dont-Rock-The-Boat-23323648

Price for regular gas differs from price for premium.
You are paying a specific price for for a specific item.

Same should be applicable to RCN service.

If they can not deliver, I'd like to get some money back.

Well, RCN bill is in USD, RCN technical support is outsourced to Philippines. However, RCN management is not.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23321502 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:36:01 EDT Re: 20/5 40/5 60/10 New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23318833 said by st89jebn:

I always get at least 20/2 so the plans for the new speeds will be something to keep an eye on.
I too get a constant 20/2 at all times, even during peak hours. I'm curious as to the new speeds too. I might bump on one to 40/5.

cdr1000, every post you do man is negative. If you read the fine print on RCN's website, it always stated "speeds up to 20MB/s Down." There may be times you hit the 20 down without knowing it. Cheer up a little bit, if you don't feel your getting that speed, bump down to the 10/768Kb package :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23318833 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:25:02 EDT Re: 20/5 40/5 60/10 New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23315798 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23315798 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:28:45 EDT Re: 20/5 40/5 60/10 New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23312003

Is this deal listed anywhere on RCN web page and is there a description of the 3.0 plans for Chicago?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23298382 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:31:30 EDT Re: 20/5 40/5 60/10 New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23295955 said by claygreenber:

I'm a little unclear about something here. If I already have the 10Mbps/800Kbps service from RCN, will I see any increase in speed or decrease in price from this new announcement? Or are they simply introducing additional tiers of service above what they already offer, for a higher price?
Plans with far greater speeds will be rolled out (first for small businesses, then for consumers) but you can bet existing plans will also be reconfigured at some point. You should always be able to keep your current plan but it may be beneficial to switch to a new one, depending on what is announced.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23295955 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:33:45 EDT Re: 20/5 40/5 60/10 New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23295896 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23295896 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:22:43 EDT Re: New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23295687

This will fail unless they can support it,
The DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade should address this issue. There should be more than enough bandwidth to support it.

I've had docsis 3.0 service from Comcast, and the speeds were consistent with the 50/10 package.

The biggest difference most people will notice is the increased ability to upload.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23294848 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:19:46 EDT Re: 20/5 40/5 60/10 New Speeds Announced for Docsis 3.0 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-205-405-6010-New-Speeds-Announced-for-Docsis-30-23294807
