| New speeds and more HD Just got a letter, about new speeds.
Looks like the gamer is going to 25/2
High speed 12/1 (1 up finally).
Didn't read about the HD channels getting added.
I might actually upgrade to gamer speed for 25/2.  |

6 new HD channels with MLB, Comedy Central being the only ones of interest. High Speed 12/1 now will be $46.95, gamer staying at $69.95....Metrocast needs to be a little more competitive with the internet pricing but the monopoly leverage gives them no incentive |

i upgraded to gamer for 18/2 but im still only getting like 11/12 most of the time. Cable Modem Bandwith sucks. |

It's nice to see the download speeds improving, but it seems the upload speeds are still very low. 1 mbps upload for high speed? That's up from .5. I don't know what the industry average is, but my friends on Cox and Comcast seem to do much better than that. |

New speeds are live here in VA. Just thought I'd pass the word along. Been able to consistently pull 24Mbps / 1.9Mbps all day. |

Rochester, NH | I see the channels are up but all with bad TiVo data.
Doesn't look like my downstream speeds are up much.

Rochester, NH | I've had to put in 3 Tivo requests so far. They added the channels to rochester but didn't fit the format.
So instead of (MLBHD) it says (MLB NETWORK HD) and has no program guide data. |

Thanks! I figure I'll wait a bit longer, as far as I know the channels aren't even officially live yet... |

kudos:4 | The paperwork that went out said speeds and prices were effective January 1. My guess is the prices will go up before the speeds do. |

| No speed increase in Maryland so far... |

Firstly, Happy New Year! Secondly, I don't have interwebs with Metro, but I do get the TV. I have a TiVo. I still see the Digital version WPRI. Still no Tru TV. No program guide on Nick, MTV, nor Comedy.
