DJVageli Posted September 20, 2006 CID Share Posted September 20, 2006 38 a month? I forgot Not bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thndr143 Posted September 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 20, 2006 Not bad at all True, but..... Verizon offers more speed for same price. Up to 15 Mbps/2 Mbps $44.95/month The crappy part about it is, I don't have access to Verizons FIOS yet I want Up to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps but its $179.95 (and FIOS isnt available yet) boo! Oh yeah, and I cant afford it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbercrombieBoy Posted September 20, 2006 CID Share Posted September 20, 2006 38 a month? I forgot I think it's originally $39.95? My parents were on the promotional $19.95 for 6 months and then negotiated $34.95 afterward. I would def goad them into trying Verizon's FIOS if it were available though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calidude Posted October 26, 2006 CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 Is this going to only be New York, or will it expand to other areas (read: southern California) as well? I'm moving 5GB of files to another server and the !@#$ing slow upload speed is KILLING me (been doing this for 11 hours now )! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thndr143 Posted October 26, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 I just wanted to correct/clarify some information here. Tampabay RR has 3 speed packages: 15360 Kbps / 2048 Kbps 10240 Kbps / 1024 Kbps 8192 Kbps / 512 Kbps RR service providers have upgraded speeds in various locations, and will continue to do so. Trouble is, it takes a lot of preparation to make sure that the connection will be stable with such an increase in network traffic. 15360 Kbps / 2048 Kbps <-- I wish I had that Time Warner in Syracuse only offers 15360 Kbps / 1024 Kbps 10240 Kbps / 1024 Kbps <-- I currently have this Kinda pointless to offer higher download speeds for more money when its the upload we want.

xs1 Posted October 26, 2006 CID Share Posted October 26, 2006 We'll never get a decent upload rate. Not unless your realy lucky and live in the FIOS ly'in area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thndr143 Posted October 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 27, 2006 it is point less, but they still think you want download. and upload bandwidth costs more. True............... So why don't they offer it as an option ? I'd gladly pay more, if they offered 15360 Kbps / 2048 Kbps Who knows, maybe they will offer it in the future. I'll call them and ask about it and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
