gavinseabrook Posted April 23, 2006 CID Share Posted April 23, 2006 I just moved back in with my inlaws and I went from my old connection (Road runner cable d/ling @ 535kbps and u/ping @ 49 kbps.) Now i am on Road runners DSL and im d/ling a max of 97kbps and uploading at 15kbps. Im so sad because i have tried cable nut tweaks, messing with router settings ect ect. But to no avail. Can anything be done?! If not imma call road runner and upgrade their package back up to cable and just pay the differencet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavinseabrook Posted April 23, 2006 Author CID Share Posted April 23, 2006 Actually here in el paso they did introduce thier "DSL" Package. Which apparently im assuming is their "Lite" version. The reason they got it was cause it was 20 bucks cheaper. But it is hard for me cause i d/l so much stuff and play a but load of online games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted April 23, 2006 CID Share Posted April 23, 2006 Lite, man that is joke. I would rather have dial up, at least it does not claim to be high speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock01 Posted April 23, 2006 CID Share Posted April 23, 2006 haha thats right, they even let people know before hand, its very lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted April 23, 2006 CID Share Posted April 23, 2006 Most locations have recently increased RR lite download speed to 768 Kbps, up from 256 Kbps. Bit of an improvement anyway. DjVaGGo makes a point about the 7168 Kbps / 512 Kbps RR basic package. As far as I know, this is only available in the Tampa Bay area. They also have 10/1 and 15/2 packages.

gavinseabrook Posted April 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted April 27, 2006 Well I called em up. Yeah, no matter what it will always be this slow. Once I get another job I will upgrade the package and pay the difference. Right now im still doing some computer tech jobs. Ya know, side things for people. But im stuck for the time being. But I want to thank you guys for trying to help a brotha out lol. But talk to you all later |_337 5|O34|< |=( )|2 //| |O33|P5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
