| [TWC] Verizon 3Mbps DSL vs TWC Standard (zip code 11220) Hi everyone. I'm a current Verizon DSL customer and I've been thinking of changing to cable. I have to say, Verizon speeds are very constant but slow. I had TWC 5-6 years ago. Only reason I changed to Verizon was because I had a 10Mbps package but during peak hours I got less than 2.
But now, I heard TWC has "upgraded." I need higher speeds because with Verizon I cannot do multiple things together such as Skype and stream Netflix.
Is it worth it to switch over?
I want to ask the people in 11220 or anyone who had to make this decision to share their experiences. |

Here's my current connection, in 10012, with TWC's Standard Internet over my wireless network.

1 edit | hmm Just wondering about Standard 30/1? I'm TW in 10019. Tried an Arris DOCSIS 3.0 w/ Turbo that was only 20/2 at the time. When trial period expired I dropped to Standard that recently upped to 15/1 from older 10/1 I think it was.
Wouldn't 30/1 be closer to an Extreme tier or some such name? Or is Extreme 30/5 or something.
fwiw Hardly seeing any dif between Turbo & Standard regarding steaming or multi-tasking. Win 8 x64 Pro. TW been solid lately too.
Had DSL in 10019 zip years ago when rolled out. In spite of being block & half from CO I'd lose connect all the time & slow in evenings. Go TW esp if get an intro deal. |

TWC tiers:
lite - 1*1
basic - 1*3
regular/standard - 1*15
Turbo - 2*20
D3 tier 5*30
D3 tier 5*50
IIRC the 1*15 can still be delivered on D1.1 /D2 and have powerboost.
There are 2 D3 tiers here I forget the names but they are as above. |

Though, I wish they offered free installation and not charge a 48 dollar fee =/ |
