xs1 Posted December 10, 2004 CID Share Posted December 10, 2004 After reading of DJ's amazing speeds usign roadrunner, ()whih happens to be my isp as well() i did a lil research and looky here.... Time Warner 5Mbps But only in NYC and Los Angeles More on the Time Warner, Earthlink, and Roadrunner speed upgrades we first mentioned earlier this week. Users in our Roadrunner forum are being told by technicians the company has officially upgraded its standard downstream speed to 5Mbps in New York City, and the Huntington Beach area of California (at no extra cost). Now thats totaly unfair that they can have only Thoes states/areas recieve an upgrade and the rest of their customers who are Paying the SAME price get Nothing. *THUMBS DOWN* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin541 Posted December 10, 2004 CID Share Posted December 10, 2004 Since Verizon is a way better value here in NY than TWC, they have to be some sort of competition. I mean 3/384 with twc for like $44.95, am i right? With verizon you get 3/768 for $29.99. I guess that many people were switching from TWC to OOL or Verizon. I mean It would totally suck if i had slower speeds, while my next door neighbor was able to get twice as fast for the same price, but i wouldnt be able to do anything about it.

xs1 Posted December 10, 2004 Author CID Share Posted December 10, 2004 I qualify for verizion here, but only @ 1.5 / 368 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin541 Posted December 10, 2004 CID Share Posted December 10, 2004 The 3/768 plan came out like 2 weeks ago. Its only in New York, and some parts on New Jersey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted December 10, 2004 CID Share Posted December 10, 2004 Just to correct you .s1, I dont have Roadrunner, I have Earthlink but whats the difference anyway right lol lol And I saw that article I think on dslreports, so I guess thats why my speed increased, but the starnge thing is its random, my friend who lives like 10 minutes from my house still has 3Mbps and is on Roadrunner, so Ithink this is weird.I guess I was one of the first ones because I just had reinstalled my service a few days ago and I live in a neighborhood filled with pwople with no cable lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Posted December 10, 2004 CID Share Posted December 10, 2004 My mountain home (stateside) is less than 600 feet from "high speed" lines. Do you think Verizon will install a 'run' of Optical Cable so that I can have the blazing speeds that you are enjoying? HA!!! I've been told it may happen in the next decade, but no way can they afford that much wire now? (huh?) Unbelievable! The Reverend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
