| 50/25 Package? Hi, i had a TWC rep stop by my house today. He offered me 50/25 internet plan with Digital TV that included DVR+HD receiver (2 room setup)
....for $84.99
I am currently at $49.99 for 30/5 Internet plan and with Directv and i am really shocked at the 50/25 speed, i had to call to confirm this and the customer service rep confirmed i am on scheduled to be installed a 50/25 + Digital Tv
Only down side? the phone rep told me i will be paying $114 Total instead of $84.99 that the Rep quoted me.
Btw i am in North Raleigh area in NC |

Webster, NY | If the rep who stopped by offered you one price and now they are telling you another, I would call that rep up...you do have his number, don't you ?...and ask him what is going on. 50/25 speed ? really ?

DirecTV is pretty neat. If you want a referral ask me. |

Fremont, OH | I would venture to say after tax's and other fee's that the walking rep does not have to divulge unless asked. That would be the final price. I've learned that if they say it is this price it will be this price after everyone gets there share.. |

There is no 50/25 speed tier yet they just introduced bonding in NYC which means NC does not have it yet and the max any upstream channel in most TWC systems can do is 10-15Mbps not 25. I know that TWC North Texas is running 4 upstreams with 15Mbps payload each. |

Charlotte, NC | There is going to be a 50/25 package. One of my best buddies works for TWC in Charlotte, and he told me about it 2 weeks ago. Said it would roll out later this year in response to the competition from UVerse and Windstreams new bonded DSL service. Cant speak for other systems, but it is a go for Charlotte.

kudos:22 | Awesome news with that. I wonder, is that going to be a separate package in itself or will it be a speed boost from 50/5 to 50/25 overnight? |

That seems plausible based on the way 50/5 is priced. It's significantly more expensive than 30/5 in most markets, but only 40% faster, and only in the downstream direction. Wideband/Ultimate or whatever they want to call it really should have more upload to command the premium price.

If Ultimate goes to 50/25, I'll spring for the upgrade. Seeing as it took forever to get Wideband/Ultimate here in the first place, I'm guessing it'll be a while.  |

I wonder how long is forever? TWC announced the first D3 wideband deployment in NY city in 2009? 2010? 2 years ain't that bad and certainly not forever  |

turbo will go to 20/2 when extreme goes to 30/5. I believe that North Texas was the first TWC area to offer turbo at 20/2 in any market. |

NY speeds officially changed about a week after the North Texas launch. I haven't heard of 50/25 in NYC area yet. |

UVerse and Windstream? TWC competition? Really? |

I would definitely welcome the added upstream and more downstream... please? Perhaps a 75/25? or even 100/25?
But to be realistic... which uverse competition was your TWC buddy talking about? I mean we are lucky that TWC decided to push D3 so hard considering that uverse is stuck (at this moment) in up-to 18 Mbps... I know, I know in djrobx's neighborhood they love uverse.
The max that uverse subs can get is up-to 24 Mbps and that is if they are not watching any TVs and if they are really, really close to the VRAD. The 24 Mbps tier is more likely to be a 12 Mbps.
There is a lengthy thread here »45 MB internet service which to me show signs of desperation and resignation of some uverse subscribers to the lack of recent uverse upgrades.
Anyway, I look at these TWC upstream channel bonding developments with great interest as the only reasonable explanation would be that TWC is considering adding upstream channel bonding to their arsenal and that is a very good thing indeed.
I just hope your inside information doen't turn out to be like the uverse thread above. |
