I agree, 10mb is just silly, I see no point. Now you give me 5mb/3mb, and I'm sold!

| I agree. They need to boost the upload speed and slightly increase the price and allow home-based servers. That would really put a hurting on web hosting providers.

Re: Finally
I cant speak for other RCN locations, but here in NYC people will literally not move into an apartment if the building requires tentants to use RCN. I kid you not. They have the worlds worst cable TV as well.

| wifi4milez: Any building by NYC law is required to allow time warner in regardless. Any person in a building that will not allow time warner in should contact the NYC DOITT. If one tenant wants service, Time Warner has to be allowed in. That is NYC city law.
RCN's picture quality is indeed less to be desired and they use microwave feeds and the picture quality is flaky. I switched to Time Warner. RCN needs to fix this and then they will get customers back. RCN has a total new team and we shall see what happens going forward however. |

There are certain buildings where the management has deals with RCN, and they will not allow TWC in. In fact certian property managemers will only allow RCN in all of their buildings. I am not a lawyer, however this has been going on for years and as I mentioned, people have opted not to move into the RCN buildings due to the terrible service. I have even seen the RCN clause listed on a lease that my friend signed.

I know you can complain to DoITT and all but how far is that likely to get you? I've dealt a lot with the DoITT bureacrats in my last job (as a contractor for another city agency) and while you may get some action, you also might be wasting your time.
I knew of a friend of mine who lived in a building in Brooklyn who was forced to take DirecTV.
I used to live in a building serviced by RCN, but it was RCN microwave which was really crappy. Then I moved out to a part of Queens where Time Warner refused to provide digital service and I had to get RCN for cable modem service.
Regular RCN isn't so bad but the microwave RCN with one way cable modem blows goats. |

Ambient Completes First Project in New York City
Tuesday October 26, 10:25 am ET
First to Commercially Deploy Second Generation Chipset Technology in North America
MADRID, SPAIN and NEWTON, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 26, 2004 -- Ambient Corporation (OTC BB:ABTG.OB - News), a leader in Power Line Communications (PLC) and a featured exhibitor at the IQPC International Powerline Communications Conference in Madrid announced today the successful completion of its joint project with Consolidated Edison (NYSE:ED - News) in the installation of a communications system in Con Edison's new First Avenue Steam Tunnel in Manhattan.
Kevin Burke, President of Con Edison, said, "We are pleased with the results of the project and its cost effectiveness. This state-of-the-art monitoring and communications system will serve us well."
Ambient, the first US company to incorporate the latest chipset from DS2 into its system, utilized DS2's second generation PLC technology, capable of running at speeds up to 200 Mbps, to build a multi-purpose communications network in an industrial environment. The network is utilized in Con Edison's new tunnel to monitor environmental conditions, the state of the steam main, and to provide telephony service in the tunnel utilizing the voice over IP (VoIP) technology provided by the DS2 chipset. This single network is a cost-effective solution that provides a variety of services that would traditionally have required multiple technologies and wiring systems.
Con Edison's steam system is unique to Manhattan. It serves about 1,800 customers from 105 miles of steam mains, stretching from Lower Manhattan to 96th Street.
Ram Rao, Chief Network Architect at Ambient, stated, "After years of successful demonstrations, Ambient is moving to a new level with near term plans to begin aggressively marketing its proven technology and equipment. The success of this project is another key step in Ambient's path to being the industry leader in PLC system design and installation."
"We at DS2 are pleased to have partners such as Ambient who have demonstrated their belief and commitment to aggressively pursue the market applications of the latest technology. They continue to demonstrate their market leadership in the Americas by proving the effectiveness of our latest technology in a real world environment. We are pleased to have a pioneering partner installing innovative technology in the company named after the man who pioneered electricity," added Jorge Blasco, CEO of DS2.
