richcornucopia Posted January 27, 2005 CID Share Posted January 27, 2005 [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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJVageli Posted January 27, 2005 CID Share Posted January 27, 2005 When the rep said the upload will get upgraded,did he mean for the premium service or for both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted January 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 27, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted January 27, 2005 CID Share Posted January 27, 2005 Nice And most likely its probably gonna happen in NY first,just like the download upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planatoid Posted February 5, 2005 CID Share Posted February 5, 2005 Heck, I'd reather have a higher upload than a download, so much more useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted February 5, 2005 CID Share Posted February 5, 2005 Heck, I'd reather have a higher upload than a download, so much more useful. Agreed. id trade my 5/386 ( getting about 5500/360 ) fir 1/2 or 1.5 /2 anyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingzero2309 Posted February 7, 2005 CID Share Posted February 7, 2005 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...

xs1 Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 In my opinion i think all ISP's should atleast give 1.5Mb upload. Now that would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOhioRR Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 RR should be 5/1.5.........or even 5/768 id be happy...........40k/second upload isnt shit anymore....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planatoid Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 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?

VanBuren Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 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? when you upload at full speed, your latency increase and if you start downloading, its hard for you to send acknowledge packets to the sender that you received the packet 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.

xs1 Posted February 8, 2005 CID Share Posted February 8, 2005 RR should be 5/1.5.........or even 5/768 id be happy...........40k/second upload isnt shit anymore....... 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philp Posted February 14, 2005 CID Share Posted February 14, 2005 What I find funny is that if everyone had 3 meg uploads, we'd all want 4. It's never enough with us, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planatoid Posted February 14, 2005 CID Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ehh, there's enough. I could do with 768kbps no problem. 384kbps is just too dang slow, I can't stand it. With 768kbps you could run a decent gaming server without uploads, that's all I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted February 26, 2005 CID Share Posted February 26, 2005 bro....lol im being reasonable here...........do you know how much bandwidth is for a company? not cheap........ neawys.....it owuld be nice........but im not greedy (unlike someone else!!!) lol........... hell even 512 would be an improvment but not enuff..........i say 5/768 and if your greedy 5/2 but then they would have to lower the price to compete with Verizon FIOS.......which is never gonna happen........just my thoughts........bitch :angry5: Bandwidth isnt that expensive at all. Not for the companies. Look at verizon, and look at non-us ISP's. In japan 25 million homes will be equiped with full 100/100 connections by the end of 2005. Bandwidth is not expensive, ISP's are greedy. 2/2 3/3 isnt shit for the isp. Thats a 1/10th of what business's use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neocorteqz Posted May 15, 2005 CID Share Posted May 15, 2005 I'd be very happy with at least 768 up with the 5 mbit service, 384 is just too damn slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
