Re: DOCSIS 3
While your upload speed does suck, I'm paying $65 for 8/2 here  . Then again, back home in town TWC inexplicably offers 15/2 with download PowerBoost for $50/month, though there's really no competition in the area.
Funny how in NC, in an area where Embarq has 640k+ upload on most of their tiers, TWC has decided to continue sitting at 10/512 for the highest tier. |

| Yeah, our decade old upload speeds have never changed in the 10 or so years the service has been available here.
I have this theory that NC is TW's little psychological experiment on the public, seeing how long people will put up with sluggish 384-512K upload speeds before people crack and mass hysteria erupts and the crime rate suddenly spikes.
I mean seriously... You try spending 6-7 hours uploading a rather normal amount of high resolution vacation pictures to shutterfly... Meanwhile, the internet is unusable because when the upstream gets hosed, so does the downstream, and pages that took a second to load suddenly take 30+.
It's enough to drive most people completely insane. We've had AT&T U-verse available here now for about 5 months, and still no change in upload speeds from TW. |
