Re: [TWC] RR terribly slow

Mine has been slow when doing stuff via Http/web browser for like a week now. Downloading via Steam will max my connection, but downloading video's on Gamespot/youTube, etc I barely get over 1Mbps on a 50 connection. This is in KC so not sure if it's widespread or what.

Same here. A web accelerator/cache on my phone and squid caches on my laptop and network(network one consults the one on laptop if I accessed sites on it from elsewhere, not to mention caching what I loaded on wifi saves 4G data and speeds up inferior APs I run into) have often saved me from an even worse experience. You are so far from me yet same issue. Signal is good, so is VoIP even. Seems to only affect http. Not using http/https ports for OpenVPN results in a much faster and more stable VPN connection. Wonder if them preparing to participate in 6 strikes and setting up.new hardware for browser redirections and such has anything to do with it.

Yea, I dunno. Strange thing is I went to »www.timewarnercable.com/ ··· est.html and did the speed test that connects to the OHIO RDC and got 56.65 down and 5.16 up.

Getting 15mbs or less on a 30+ connection in Orange County CA and Twitch is practically unwatchable right now.
