[TWC] Virtually All TWC Customers Face $3.95 Modem Rental Fee - Time Warner Internet Services

Digiti @rr.com	reply to Dampier Re: [TWC] Virtually All TWC Customers Face $3.95 Modem Rental Fe I purchased and provisioned my Motorola SB 5120 modem[on the leased list] about two years ago but was charged the fee this month. I called the CSR and got the error corrected. I realize that it is Docsis 2.0 and does not do ipv-6 but it is OK for now. Also there is some controversy as to whether the newer Sb 6141 on the TWC buy list will do ipv-6. If it does not do ipv-6 then there is no advantage in my doing an upgrade because my modem has the same specs.

digiti123 join:2010-12-05	Sorry my mistake, I was referring to the Docsis 2.0 Motorola SB5101 not the SB6141 in regard to Ipv-6 compatibility in my Digiti post above.

And 5Mb/s is an acceptable alternative to surrendering my first born son AND left nut for "blazing fast" cable Internet. Actually its completely relevant. I’m an electronics geek and live for technology. I had 5Mb broadband back in 2005, if I still was at the speed I’d be appalled. As time goes by, things get bigger, faster, more stable and reliable, and I enjoy keeping up with the latest advancements in technology. quote: You are using them all at the same time? I’d say at most 5-7 devices are using network resources on any given Sunday during football and the race. Right now two computers are in use, the Xbox is downloading updates, the DirecTV DVR is downloading Boardwalk Empire on HBO On Demand and I’m streaming Sirius XM from my tablet to the Jambox. The faster downstream/upstream speeds are nice, especially when I was on vacation a few months ago. I used the backdoor way to stream TWC TV without having to be directly on your home network. Using Team Viewer to remote desktop into connect to my home computer and stream the TWC TV in the browser while I was in Ohio. Hooked my laptop up to the hotel TV via HDMI and it was just like I was at home. Between the nice wideband connection at home and being in a decent Sprint 4G area I was all set. -- For the future of our nation, we must unite and vote out the terrorist known as Hussein Obama.

Just make sure it is not the 6121, which was running around that $80 price. -- Phillip M. Dampier Editor, Stop the Cap! »stopthecap.com

Dampier Phillip M Dampier join:2003-03-23 Rochester, NY	reply to Pervis said by Pervis: Well, I just got the postcard (TWC-NC) and it says that the internet service price will be reduced by a corresponding $3.95 so it's a wash. Still, I'd rather own my own equipment. What is the group consensus for the best one to buy? Oh, I currently have standard Road Runner service with a Motorola SURFboard SB5101 modem. I believe NC TWC systems do their annual rate hikes in November. Don't be surprised if the rate hike next month erases that reduction. TWC plans ongoing rate increases for broadband "because we can." -- Phillip M. Dampier Editor, Stop the Cap! »stopthecap.com

dcurrey Premium join:2004-06-29	reply to Dampier $80 is cheap for a SB6141 I would double check that. Not seeing it myself. $80 is about right for the 121s. See a lot of those being sold locally for around $70 to $80. Strange that they are not on the approved list for here.

Azrail join:2011-07-14 Woodside, NY	reply to Dampier I may say goodbye to TWC,too. Experiencing packet loss and high latency more than 150days in this year, they always said that's my router/computer/network cable problem when I called Customer service. How does it possible my router/computer/network cable have problem every 4pm~9pm, and no problem in other time? If I but my own Modem, they will have one more option - that's your modem problem! Anyway, just going to say, "goodbye TWC..."

Hob you'd think that TW would just offer something similar to their users - built into the set top box if necessary, or just through a web connection tied to user MACs and an account password. i'm sure there are contract issues, but i bet a license through sling would sort things out. -- Catapultam habeo.

Lowtarget Premium join:2003-12-22 Alger, OH Reviews: ·RoadRunner Cable 1 edit	reply to Steve Mehs Re: [TWC] Virtually All TWC Customers Face $3.95 Modem Rental Fe We been with TWC for a very long time. If they try to pull the $3.95 Modem Rental Fee on us. I'll be right on the phone in a single heart beat. When we called about the 30/5 extreme broadband when it first came out. They had to send out a truck in order to change out the modem. Which you normally had to pay a small fee for them rolling out the truck to install the new modem. But since we had service with TWC for all these years. They waived the fee for them coming and installing new modem. So they better waive the modem fee for us too. Cause I will drop them like a hot potato without thinking twice. They are not the only fish in the pond here. We been here for 25+ years long be for even broadband was available here.
