Xcite 2Mbps Internet • 2Mbps Internet speed, 35 times faster than dial-up Xpress 8Mbps Internet • 8Mbps Internet speed, 140 times faster than dial-up Xtreme 15Mbps Internet • 15Mbps Internet speed, 260 times faster than dial-up Xtreme Turbo 15/2Mbps Internet • 15Mbps download and 2Mbps upload speeds make this the fastest WOW! Internet service available What are the upload speeds for the first three tiers?
Also does WOW have a data cap? This has changed....now it's 2/1Mbps, 15/1 Mbps, 30/3Mbps, and 50/5 Mbps... Anything above 1mbps and you should be completely fine. Depends on your latency too, if you use a wired/wireless connection. You can play with dial up too, just have to deal with some lag. 2011-12-18 09:46:40 by redxii In addition to blazing fast speeds, cable has low pings which makes it perfect for gaming, always on connection, and can help you save money by bundling it with other services from your cable company such as TV and home phone.

Out of date; WOW no longer offers Usenet. 2012-08-08 16:44:23 by drake It's over as of 20 Oct 11 - so much for a fixed price contract 2011-11-22 22:25:17 by redxii You might also want to visit DSLR's Networking forum. by redxii WOW! does not typically provide firmware updates or technical support specific to customer-owned modems. It really doeesn't matter if the modem is compatible. Since WOW won't update the firmware at some point the modem won't work properly. So sure you can use your own modem but your service will suffer. 2011-04-16 18:25:20 According to one of their FAQs, only DOCSIS 1.1 is required. Allegedly DOCSIS is backwards compatible so a 3.0 network would support an older device, but not at the full speeds.
To the point about firmware updates, this is only an issue if you get one from a manufacturer that feels like they can ship a broken product and fix it later (all too common these days, unfortunately). It's not going to stop working at some point if it worked properly in the first place. But it's very much a case of caveat emptor. Just make sure that your modem is 100% compatable. Mine was certified DOCSIS 3.0 and would work, but for some reason limited download speeds to 500kps. Once they dropped off their modem my speed jumped to 8mbps. 2011-04-13 13:26:55 by J D McDorce 1.4 Troubleshootingby redxii •Clear your browser cache and Temporary Internet Files.•If you're using any proxy server disable it here.•Power-cycle your modem/router directions here.•Move your modem away from any electrical and/or computer devices.•Check your NIC (Network Interface Card) drivers are up to date from the manufacturer, and•Check your cables are plugged in tight, if you have some spare ones try another cable, or swap them around. If possible, use RG-6 cable instead of RG-59 because RG-59 is lossy.
by redxii 1.5 Software1. Go to the IE or Windows Update site and download IE6, (OE6 is included). Re-install over the top of your existing browser. Follow MS's prompts...it is clean and neat. 2. Load the regedit program (from the start menu click run.......type in regedit) and use the Find feature. Do a search through all keys for these two words; "provided by". There are several instances for both IE6 an OE6. When you find these instances, edit them with your preference. For example my browser reads like this: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 provided by Littell's, Inc. "Since 1922"..You'll note that I've edited or included the browser version # in this string. This was simply to remind me which version I am running currently. For example my e-mail reads like this: Outlook Express 6.0 provided by Littell's, Inc. "Since 1922".......There are even more personalization tricks that you can do, such as: Editing and pointing your search bar button to the search engine you like best. Example: My browser search button, when clicked, goes directly to "Dogpile". You can also simply copy and paste this into the Run dialog: rundll32.exe iedkcs32.dll,Clear
