Gib4500 Posted December 23, 2007 CID Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'm located in southeastern ohio. I'v had roadrunner a while back. The speed would go up to about 1.5mb download. I was told they were just using t-1's to serve the area. I'v been told they now have in place and are testing a whole new circuit. So the speed should increase dramatically. Hopefully the standard roadrunner will go up to 7mb instead of the 1.5 mb it used to get. This is for the rural southeastern ohio area along the ohio river in the new matamoras, sardis and hannibal ohio area. I'm excited because of the higher speeds. Right now i'm limited to 2.5mb download speed due to the dsl distance issues. So if this pans out looks like i'll probably switch back to the cable internet for the higher speeds.

prairiedogsplatr Posted December 24, 2007 CID Share Posted December 24, 2007 I miss my roadrunner connect. When i first started using rr it had a 5meg down and a 128k up. Then they made 7meg standard with 256k. I thought that was pretty fast. Then i found out for 10 more bucks a month i could get 10meg down and 512k up. I was downloading like a mad man I could get over 4.7 gig in an hour no problem was loving that now i got horrible net due to a move but i would support roadrunner 100% for constant speeds and great reliability. Not only that they offer a premium newsgroup server that i believe keeps files for about 200 days. Was 3 when i first started using them. Unlimited download to those newsgroups at no extra charge free usenet is a huge factor for me when picking an isp. Wish i could get rr again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gib4500 Posted January 13, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 13, 2008 i'v been told by a friend the upgade is now complete. He has roadrunner standard and was getting about 7mb download. I have already put in an order for installation. I'm coming from at&t dsl so this is going to be a good bit faster. It's good to see time warner on the ball here. The area was a former adelphia area and the internet speeds weren't very good, so this is a very welcome upgrade. plus for 10 bucks more a month i could have 15mb speeds.
