I wish they would expand to south Columbus. They completely bypassed groveport and the Rickenbacker area. Of course back then that area was SBC and not Ameritech.

That was a broadband dead zone for a long time. I know TWC (err now Spectrum) upgraded that area finally to get decent internet speeds. I don't believe AT&T UVerse services that area - might be lucky to get 1.5 ADSL if lucky.

Yup if I recall that was a 450MHz or 550MHz one way plant for the longest, leftover from Insight

xthepeoplesx posted : I agree, while I know some people on the forums had issues with TWC, my overall feeling towards them was pretty good. I was one of the original testers for a cable modem while everyone was still on dialup and the only way to upgrade was to pay an insane amount of money for an isdn line.

That to many years downtown to Westerville area. Had the most issues downtown(it was down about once a week~2 weeks for hours). Outside of that I really never had problems.

Now Charter is a whole different story. Their customer care is absolute shit, they know they have you pegged and have no problems raising your rates what seems like every couple months at this point, will it end? Not to mention the line has gone out NUMEROUS times where with TWC it maybe went down once? I seriously cant remember if it actually did.

WOW could really take over. I just really hope they keep expanding and going public doesnt interfere with that and simply gives us another Charter :(.

Kinda off topic in regards to the OP but I've noticed a few WOW cabinets spring up in Marysville recently, along with quite a bit of directional boring...and possibly a few aerial fiber strands. I think I've also seen some buried hardlines going in to a couple housing developments on the west side of town. Deployment seems spotty at best so far...

I called WOW and the CSR's had no idea what I was talking about.

Anybody on here know what's going on in Marysville?

It would only make sense for them to start building outwards at this point.

TWC while they sucked, were generally OK to deal with, but Charter/Spectrum is just a nightmare, so it should be fairly easy for Wide Open West to steal some customers with new builds.

Nick1, can you elaborate? I missed what ya meant by that. Are they testing FTTH? Or they are expanding using copper still? I would take either one honestly. Since the take over of TWC my internet goes out every night now and they just dont care to want to match ATT or WOW's speeds here in Columbus.

No they aren't testing FTTH. My comment was since Delaware is a completely new build they should just put fiber to the home. Since the initial deployment cost is the most expensive part and installing fiber and copper is about the same price, but obviously fiber will be more useful in the future.

You are so right though, thank god I am not on that CL crap any longer. I wish Charter would figure out the issues with their lines. I know there has been alot of road work, but cmoonnnnnnn man!

I recall that being your last battle haha

Although i can say at night i've noticed peering issues since the charter takeover, I cannot max out my connection doing steam downloads anymore (this is hardwired in)

Local speedtests are always 112Mbps, but the download is stuck at 30-40Mbps, and where i'm moving in Worthington, it's either at&t with a 1TB cap, or Spectrum

xthepeoplesx posted : Matt7, yea WOW has 600mbps on the other side of hoover reservoir, along with 1gbps ATT, also on the otherside of us in Delaware. I was hoping to get 300mbps with our TWC connection but since the buyout we will no longer have that. Kinda sucks.

Another note, I did contact WOW and it is Delaware proper, no galena :(.

Matt7 posted : Likely Delaware city from what the article states.

I live in NE Columbus but can't get WOW as I live in an MDU (Apartment Complex) so Time Warner's the only one able to use lines here. (Also means AT&T has no motivation to upgrade the copper to GigaPower Fiber even though the VRAD is on the complex property so it would be fairly EASY for them to move us to fiber) I really wish I could have WOW though they seem to be actually caring about faster speed options.

While Time Warner has been busy upgrading equipment in Columbus, OH with the merger of Charter any future speed upgrades are pretty much dead in the water as Charter focuses on launching all digital in all the legacy Time Warner areas and rolling out their Spectrum Speed Tiers (60/4, 100/5).

Many years ago I lived in another area and had WOW! (back then the speed tier was like 4 down / 512k up) and WOW was light years ahead of Insight (at the time).
