Where exactly does at&t look good?At least where they have cable or LTE as competitors? | |

Re: Where exactly does at&t look good?Time for Time Warner Cable to up their speeds! I'm paying $100/month for 50 down 5 up. Why not for the same price get 150/50! | |

No caps increase though...When I checked the TOS/AUP for Rhode Island which showed Ultimate as a 100Mb tier (110Mb with boost), the Ultimate cap is still 400GB. In my market, Orange County caps don't appear to be enforced. I blow through my monthly caps routinely and hopefully it will stay that way.
What is Verizon's current price for 150Mb FiOS? If it is more than a hundskie, I wonder if they'll drop the price, or bump their tier in response. | |

Re: Ultimate is 150/20I'd take 50/10 myself. When I heard that a friend of mine in Phoenix, was upgrading to 150/20, I didn't believe him. Sure enough he has it, just wow. I'd love to wake up one day and see a 30/10 or 50/10 option on TWC. Nice to see what the technology can do. | |

PreferredWow, I remember the days when Optimum Online was the gold standard of Internet service. I am now paying $54.95 a month for 15/2 service (well the download is basically 20 but not advertised as such) and Cox is now offering 25/5 for $56?!?! At least we do not have usage caps (yet) and the Optimum WiFi service has good penetration.
It would be nice if OOL at least tried to keep their leadership position. | |

Re: Preferred$80 for first 6 months though... looks like they updated the speeds here though as cox.com shows up to 150Mbps doesnt say anything about upload speed though though just did a speed test and am up to 120MB down and 20Mb Up little less then 150/50 though | |

Breaking pointI wonder where the breaking point of all the access to bandwidth is?
With all the increases and very little transport upgrades between cities and towns built.
I know all the costs to access fiber optics are going down but somewhere somehow there has to be a realization more cross country lines will be needed.
The consumer will eventually have to pay more to have the bandwidth so operators can bury new fiber.
Internet service providers cannot keep giving away low cost access for ever. | |

Re: Breaking pointthey can and will keep providing access at a reasonable cost.. the average customer isn't gonna spend more that 150 on cable/internet combined.. and for the bandwidth issue they dont have to bury new fiber just gotta upgrade the equipment on each end of it.. that's the great part about fiber u dont have to replace it. | |

Huh? Low cost?
You realize that there is a TON of unused fiber in the ground that was put there over a decade by companies such as WilTel ( who now do not exist but their assets were sold to others). There's no need for more cross country lines, there's a need for much more last mile fiber lines. | |
|
| |
to Yucca Servic
There are research projects underway that may allow up to 99 more colors of laser light to be used in fiber optic systems. You could increase mainline data transport by 100 times today's capabilities. You have to build bigger laser facilities, but the bulk of the fiber strands already in place could handle the increased load. Very little digging may be required to do this, if it gets out of the R&D phase. | |

Google fiber the reason?Huge speed upgrades, 3X downstream, 10X upstream for ultimate...in phoenix the only competition is Qwest which is crappy DSL and nowhere near these speeds. I think it really shows the influence of google fiber. Just like when email accounts has 10 megs of storage then gmail came along with 1 gig of storage everyone else had to match. Even though google fiber isn't a direct competitor most markets, I think it has somehow made other providers 15mb (or whatever) download speeds some puny compared with 1gbps google offers and feel they have to catch up, at least a little. I don't see why else this could be. It's not like QWEST is providing any incentive | |
|
| |
Re: Google fiber the reason?I thought Qwest went and now operated by CenturyLink. CenturyLink will eventually sell out or close due to massive Plain Ol Telephone service losses. | |
|
| | betam4x join:2002-10-12 Nashville, TN |
Re: Google fiber the reason?Actually, CenturyLink is upgrading. At least here in NJ. They are rolling out Bonded DSL. 25 megs down, 2 megs up. While that's not 150/20, it's certainly much faster than 3-10 megs down, less than a meg up. | |

Cable companies have had the capability for a while to give much higher speeds with Docsis 3.0. Whatever motivates them to raise speeds is ok with me. | |

Re: Cox sucks in LouisianaAlready seeing these speeds in New Orleans (French Quarter and Lakeview)
Both accounts have preferred and are seeing ~27/~5.8 on speedtest.net
This is great, but I would still rather an LUS type situation down here (in my dreams). | |

I am with you. I have UVerse and am happy but seeing people with 50+ makes me jealous.
With Cox and UVerse at the helm here, I doubt we see much upgrades in the future | |

Re: 6 strikessaid by funny0:cant wait for all this speed to be never used and cause these isps massive layoffs. Thing is the cable companies needed to roll out DOCSIS 3 in order to be competitive with even U-verse's 24mbps speeds. Now that it's deployed, there's no good reason for them to not use it to its potential. It doesn't cost them a lot more to open it up, and it might entice some people to pay more for the higher tiers. At least Cox's pricing makes sense. TWC wants a LOT more for 50/5 vs. 30/5. | |

Cox's Speed increases during Feb 2013 in GAI went to Cox's website for Warner Robins, GA.
The Ultimate selection has no up to speed listed.
There are listings for: Starter......(1Mbps D/384Kbps U) Essential...(3mbps D/768Kbps U) Preferred...(18Mbps D/2Mbps U & 22.5Mbps DPB/2.5Mbps UPB) Premier.....(36Mbps D/5Mbps U & 45Mbps DPB/6Mbps UPB)

You are luckyWhere I live offers 10/.500 to 10/4 with digital phone for $70 to $150 depending upon whether one chooses for phone or cable. Neither is very good. | |
|
| •••• |
|
Optimum Hauppague NYI pay $70 for Boost Plus, $55 for basic and $15 for Boost Plus which brings my speed up to 50/8. I get 60 straight out of the modem and about 40-50 on my laptop with the router in the next room (WNDR3400) | |
|
|
premierelooks like i am getting another boost speeds to 50/10 over dual cable modems that's good. that would cost me is 136 dollars per month.
then, if they don't raise the cap for increase the speed, I still getting around 500GB/cap a month over dual premier tiers that would not be issue for me. | |

Re: premiereSo does this mean they will increase speed for the rest of the markets? Or just AZ and Vegas | |
