DJVageli Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 Is this a coincidence or what.One of our fellow members here has RR premium and now has a 16 Mbps download speed,and there are news that Adelphia will be upgrading their premier service from 6 Mbps to 16 Mbps.Now my point is could the buyout of Adelphia mean that everyone will get those speeds?

junkieXL Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 i wouldn't take that to the bank, even though Comcast has the bankroll to update the outdated & floundering Adelphia...provided they dont embezzle all the cash like Adelphia's principals did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 its about time adelphia/comcast cought up. I guess there done with getting the crap kicked out of them by verizon. 16MB/2MB i can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted June 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 Im under TWC,and I know theyre part of the deal also,so maybe thats why one of our members has a 16 Mbps download but from RR,none the less I know TWC/Adelphia/Comcast are gonna have something big in store for us. Like u said RR always sets pace for something good,just hope the upload increases lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkieXL Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 indeed, the elusive Holy Grail of speed is still broadband's pathetic upload pipes....i will trade 3 Mbs down for 1 up... :-| -JxL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted June 18, 2005 CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 now basic RR needs to be 10/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted June 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 18, 2005 now basic RR needs to be 10/1 Yea I have a feeling the basic service would be anywhere between 10-13 Mbps. 10/1 is more logical,but if you noticed basic was always 3Mbps less than premium,so if premium is 16 then im hoping we get 13 Also hopefully upload is 2 Mbps for both services,then everything will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 I dont know... Adelphia 16/2 for $60 Verizon 15/2 for $50 I could use the $10 in savings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 peepnklown yes verizon is better at $50 for 15/2 but for 16/2 $60 a month is not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted June 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 Its not bad at all Way better than RR premium for a better price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted June 19, 2005 CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 You know.. Even if TWC matched verizons 15/2 deal, id still switch to fiber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVageli Posted June 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 19, 2005 You know.. Even if TWC matched verizons 15/2 deal, id still switch to fiber. I would too,but I think it will be such a hassle here in NYC.As long as I get great speeds it doesnt matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
