$70 for 20/1? Ouch


TWC will have up their game
 

Really up their game
 
This is their response to NYC FiOS? Nationally Verizon prices 20/5 for $58 unbundled and NYC typically gets even better pricing. For that $70 you get 20/20 from Verizon in that market. And if I'm not mistaken that NYC market gets 50/20 for something like $90/mo. (These prices reflect the how dare you not have POTS fee of $5, if you have Verizon's rip-off voice service prices are $5 less).

RR Basic: 1.5Mbps/256Kbps
Verizon: No lite tier

RR Standard: 10Mbps/512kbps $44.95
Verizon Standard: 10/2 $48 unbundled ($43 bundled)

RR Turbo: 15Mbps/768kbps $54.90
Verizon FiOS: 20/5 $58 ($53 bundled)

RR Extreme: 20Mbps/1Mbps $69.90
Verizon FiOS: 20/20 $69 ($65 bundled)

TWC is going to have to do better than that. Add traffic shaping on top and TWC is a joke.

If someone in the NYC market can let us know if NYC prices differ that would be great.

You cant get Turbo or Extreme Speeds anymore, due them not being 'able to support it'.

If you're a current user of Turbo and Extreme, you'll be lucky to get over 8mbs during peak times.

Yep, we just switched a user to Verizon DSL because his Road Runner couldn't even support a VoIP call during peak hours. It was awful.

I'm sure TWC's OWN VoIP service ran just fine. How convenient.

their VOIP service is amazing - expensive, but zero hiccups. It uses a dedicated channel for it's bandwidth, so cable doesnt 'interfere' with it. But if you try using a 3rd party VOIP service on it's cable line, good luck.

I had RR voice and it worked fine. But RR HSI worked fine too.
