Fleeting | Stand Alone Cable
I still can't get over how much a stand-alone cable broadband line costs if you don't want to pile on the services.
$45 through Time Warner, much more through Comcast I think. This bundle-madness irritates me. |

That's why I dumped it from my NY apartment.
I now have DSL at 3.0 X 768 and it is much fater than TWC ever was.
59.99 if you have Basic cable, $44.95 if you subscribe to the next tier of TV. The 59.99 is really ridiculous.
Here's a snippet taken directly from their web site:
»www.timewarnercable.com/nyandnj/···ult.html

I'll miss the down speed on occassion, but not 30$/mo worth of missing. VZ should be more stable: I can see the CO from my kitchen window. With my glasses off. |
