| Re: Welcome to 2007 Yes, but the internet-only price is sky-high, more expensive than other cable companies' similar speed tiers. That said, the option for high speeds is nice. $68 for 15/1 vs. $63 for 8/2...guess I'd have to get the highest-end package to make it worth my while if I was to go onto WOW.
Seriously though, $41/month for the lowest tier of speed? That's almost as high as the standard tier for the likes of TWC (7/512). Pricing is squarely above DSL. | |

The price different between having one and two is so little it's not even funny. But then again, the majority of the people out there live beyond their means anyways. | |

1 edit | not the best my provider gives you 15/2 for 56, so 73 is definitely not the best price out there.
fios is probably even cheaper for the speed value but since i do not have that i could be wrong

I have had Direcway/Hughes for years. I've had trouble with them some until the latest system DW7000. It is blazing fast 1 to 1.5 kbps down most of the time- Kath159 | |

|
| | | And Cox gives you 12/1 for $44 and 20/2 for $59. Don't know about other markets, but WOW isn't wowing me (pun intended). | |

| Cool, maybe Time Warner will increase upload now? Hmm...this is good for my area, since Time Warner is still only offering 768 kbps upload (with 15 mbps download + powerboost).
Hopefully they'll step up their game and increase the upload speed, since I could switch to WOW and get 2 meg upload speed whenever I wanted. | |

Southfield, MI | Better than Comcast in price Well they have consistently beat Comcast's pricing when combined with TV. Also their bottom tier pricing is better. Or better put, where we can get Comcast and WOW, Comcast lowers their pricing.
I have wished I could get WOW for over 5 years now...

1 edit | Re: Better than Comcast in price They don't enforce any. But I've heard that if you're maxing the connection 24x7, for long periods of time, like a month or two, then you do get a warning. Nothing has ever been posted here about being terminated though. | |
