[glow=green,2,300]I have confirmation that the RR upgrade will be in effect as of January 31st for all RR customers. This will bump the basic RR from 3Mbs-5Mbs(375kbs-625kbs) but no change to the upload speed as of yet, I also have just found out the premium service will also be upgraded from 6Mbs to 8Mbs (750kbs-1000kbs) as with the basic service there will be no upload speed change. 5mbs/384kbs for 45 bucks is a very reasonable price for broadband, and those looking for a little more speed should get the premium service because 8mbs/512kbs for 69.95 is a great deal. Just thought I'd give you all an update on the RR upgrade situation, because up until now I had no idea the premium service would be upgraded, and the time warner rep I spoke with said the upload speeds would be upgraded soon.[/glow]

He said they were first working on getting the download speeds upgraded for everyone, and that the next priority would be the upload speeds for everyone. Unfortunately I have no idea what kinda of upgrade this will be, hopefully a big one and soon

i think upload and download speeds should be equal
For example...RR ppl get 5mbps download right now, so we should get 5mbps upload too
if only the world was perfect...

5/5 would be pushing it hardcore lol. I say we should have the option of the current (5/386) or somethign like 2/2 for the same price. I can live with 250 kbs (RMS) ^ and v

In my opinion i think all ISP's should atleast give 1.5Mb upload. Now that would be nice.

Does uploading hurt a cable company's lines moreso than download? Because, when I upload at a high rate, my maximum download goes down. But, downloading doesn't really affect my upload. Or is this just the way they set it up?

i suggest you download netlimiter, and set your maximal upload speed to 90% of your cap
www.netlimiter.com
then your download will speed up abit, but Cable is also half duplex and that means you cant send and receive at the very same time.

lol nah. 768 up isnt realy all that great anymore either... 80 kb/s up ? I think that 1 or 2 up would be much better because you transfer things to people and places at high rates , meaning that itnwould take MUCH less time, meaning you wouldnt need to use the upload for a long period of time like we do now with 40 kbs
