| [TWC] Speed testing on TWC (The Worst Cable) Don't rely on ANY TWC speed test sites, use ONLY ones outside their network. TWC has pretty good speeds within their network, but that's the end of it. Anything outside TWC is SLOW, and Oversubscribed.
When they added the Buffalo-Niagara area,(When Adelphia went to prison for fraud) they plugged it into their existing Rochester, NY operations which were already nearing subscriber maximum. Now with a few hundred thousand MORE subscribers, their gateways into the real Internet are hopelessly clogged. This is aggravated by their inherent refusal to spend money, while increasing customers bills on a monthly basis. Its no wonder they cant agree with their TV suppliers (you cant get the Buffalo Sabres for example in Buffalo) because theyre pinching pennies and loosing customers to direct TV.
Bottom line is if there were any alternative to TWC I'd dump them in a heartbeat. FIOS never completed their build, instead hooking up the rich areas like Amherst and they say they'll never so Buffalo, cause all the ghetto bums will be disconnected in 30 days anyways. |

| This company dont even care. In nyc they have fiber optic line that only provide the service to riches neighborhood. Were the poor working class neighborhood get like you said oversubscribed on there the line and they would not upgrade there service. |

Hosted by Time Warner in Syracuse, NY, 150 miles from me
Hosted by Comcast [Not On Time Warner’s Network] in Boston, MA, 550 miles from me
Hosted by DreamHost [Not On Time Warner’s Network] in Los Angeles, Ca, 2,650 miles from me.
All tests taken this very moment at around 5:30 PM, which is prime time. And I don't see a whole hell of a lot of difference between the three. Wideband 50/5 service from Time Warner Rochester. Any comments?

| Not to offend you but you are showing you trying to be a smart ass by posting speed like that. I am paying time Warner cable to get close to 15 Mbps or higher but not what i am getting. I am not trying to high jack the post or nothing only trying to support it. Also i spoke to a rep and i ask if their a minimum speed that i should be getting and he say there is no minimum speed just advertising the max.
This speed are are in speak hours in nyc. Time 7 o'clock Pm
Will post aging on 10 aclock to show it get worse. |

From Buffalo to Hamilton ON, 30/5 Extreme connection.
The Buffalo/Niagara system and the Rochester systems are completely separate. If you have issues, feel free to create an account and hit me up. I can help with issues in the WNY Market.

Techs sent to your home fix signal and home equipment problems, nothing more. They can't fix speed issues unless it's caused by a signal or home equipment problem. Otherwise all they can do is report it back up the chain.
What kind of modem do you have? It's possible a DOCSIS 3 modem might get better speeds bonding across multiple channels, at least that is if you currently have an older modem.

If it's important, back it up... twice. Even 99.999% availability isn't enough sometimes. |

So something outside of TWC that they don't control is oversubscribed? How is that TWC's fault? |

No, not trying to be a smartass. Just posting my experience, which is a complete 180 from what the unregistered OP posted, which is for the most part, false. Posting a speedtest result from the opposite of the country, well over two thousand miles away, hosted by a different network, that achieves nearly 51Mb downstream, which is above my provisioned rate does not scream smartass. And by posting ‘by posting speed like that’ what do you mean? Posting a result that proves the OP incorrect. Remember I live in the area he’s referring to, Western NY. It’s called proof. Proof that Time Warner Cable has a ROCK SOLID Grade A+ broadband network that can handle just about anything that can be thrown at it. Sorry if my post does not support your agenda, but it’s the 100% truth.

Cortland, NY | I agree with Steve my 5/30 at home is ROCK solid. My 2*15 Biz class was flaky but if may have been the node - once I was cut to D3 things got really good  |
