Time Warner Speeds these days

[SHINTON]

From the office, Nuvox, "split" T-1 where part used for speech/phone lines, other 1/2 for internet access.

LOL I think I'm blocked from speedtest.net, too bad I wanted to try it from the DoD netowork

Looks like they're backing off everywhere on this for NOW, until they can pay for a spin doctor to fool people into thinking this is a "good idea".

$45/mo RR

 

[Yay!Gurrr]

I dumped TW when i got laid off. I'd get ~7mb during the day at times, but after 3pm (schools out) speeds would drop to 3MB. So we got DSL 3MB and guess what, its usualyl 3.0-3.5 all the time AND its a lot cheaper.

Wife is complaining about no cable so when I things in order we may get TW back but DAMN its like $50 to get any of the decent channels. I'm waiting to see what the full digital switch does for new/different broadcasts in the area..

From our "tiny" 1G fiber direct to the W-S sonet ring... necked down thru the ASA to 360somethingMbs with 100 users online.

No doubt speedtest is throttling... Whatcha think?

 

[jackedHB]

through a router linked to 4 other computers RR sucks sometimes I run this sometimes is dont.

One of Highest in US (several net me 6.6mbit)

Lowest I found after trying a bunch of different US servers:

Just for kix:


You'll also note that unless everyone on here uses the same servers for benchmarking their area then we are comparing apples to oranges. Also note that I'm not sure if NC is still setup like it used to be (trace routes) but a lot of NC used to be routed through Atlanta while the rest was I want to say through some combination of VA. (before it meets/crosses the US, etc). That will also skew different results between different NC people if their trace routes are different. Someone with more knowledge on WANs should chime in. I can't claim to be an expert or know the exact case.

BTW this is regular 45/mon RR

$35 a month DSL, 3mb down/384kb up. Not bad I guess for the $$$, and its reliable.

 

[taznumber1]

I have the 29.95 a month Road Runner with 7mb down. I have this special for a year, then I switch to Earthlink for 6 months and get 29.95, then I switch back to Road Runner for 29.95 for another year.

One thing I have noticed is if you switch you dns to opendns servers your internet with road runner will be alot faster. Road Runners DNS Servers are really really slow.

From Fuquay Varina


I have the standard RR

Road Runner STANDARD through my wireless router to my laptop...

Run from Time Warner, they are going to charge for usage.

If you watch a lot of movies, you could end up spending 150 a month.

Actually this is not true anymore. Time Warner is stopping this plan.
