Inetba Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've had time warner for the past year. Started out paying $80/mo for 100mbit. Now I'm paying $55/mo for 300 mbit because Google fiber is moving in. As long as you avoid their cable service and only use the internet, time warner is pretty awesome.

BigManAC Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Century Link was doing this to my friends house. They had like 5mbps but when you would test the speed it would be just over 1mbps. When he called the person tried saying it was their modem and router limiting the download speed but theirs said it could handle up to 50mbps or something like that. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_paralyzed_ Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 So… The bastards got me. I called at 6 this morning after n8 confirmed my suspicions. They got me to renew for 2 years and upgrade to faster internet for only $4 more a month, but the second lady I talked to still swore up and down that it was my old modem causing the problem. They'll be sending me a new modem. Well, now 8 hours later, still with the old modem, I'm now getting 12Mbps because of the upgrade.God damn scamming prick assholes. They know they've got people by the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aculous Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Also Comcast is notorious for throttling bandwidth. They have had a couple lawsuits because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Comcast has been handing out faster Internet for no extra here because fiber is coming through everywhere around here. I was offered 100Mbps with basic cable and home phone for $130 a month for two years. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

My apartment building can only get comcast for cable however, so I'm stuck with comcast. The Big Jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLYentist Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Comcast service speed is very dependent on the amount of bandwidth your neighbors are using. I gladly have not been a comcast customer since 2001. Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
