  • Astoria,Queens,NY
  • $220 per month
  • "Solid Wideband 50/5 24x7 great constant speeds."
  • "Price, but i recently got a thank you from TWC with 25 bucks off a month. So no bad here."
  • "If you got the cash, you cannot beat the Wideband 50/5 package."

I have the ultimate wideband triple play. TWC has greatly improved from before they upgraded to docsis 3.0. TV is great. Phone is amazing. Internet for myself is amazing plus. Constant 50 download / 5 upload. Pings to my favorite game (word of warcraft) is 10-12ms due to the server being located in New York City. As for my other service which is in a data center in LA it's 45-55ish ms.

Only complaint i have is how the 50/5 package is treated. Other Cable ISPs are offering 100mbs / 10ms +`

I pay 220 is a month, but it's well worth it, if you got the cash to spend on this sort of deal. Plus i'll be getting a 25 dollar off per month aslong as I keep my triple play package.

maybe not zero problems

Your lucky I had packet loss problems on the upstream for past year and quite bad this summer, they finally realized the lines here couldnt handle 64QAM on the upstream (rockaways queens) and new cmts uses max 16QAM so the problems occur less now but I would never say zero problems for tw in nyc. Back few years ago that was true. There is hope now that they added more downstream channels upgraded their cmts and doing more upgrades this year that it will be trouble free again at least for me.

Re: maybe not zero problems

sorry for the long reply. I understand your problems, i followed it on your forum post. I thiink it's because you have so many buildings there, that your upstream will be congested. I'm gonna reword my review as i see the errors in it.

i hope the new cmts works well for you and they increase some node splits in your area.

good luck

It's ok to say, 'I don't know'. It's even better when someone takes the time to explain what you, 'don't know'.
