Mine gets smaller and bigger. Ahem. Seriously, cable speed depends upon local traffic. TWC offers at least three levels of internet service. I have Road Runner Turbo which is supposed to be the fastest for home use. They also offer business class service, which is even faster. I pay through the nose for this. Currently $71.36 per month and ever rising.
P.S. I'm swapping out my modem tomorrow. Even though everything is fine now, it doesn't mean I won't have more trouble. I don't want them telling me that my modem is "all burned up inside" again.
I've had TWC for just a little over a year. I got the bundle, phone, internet and TV with the DVR. It was $100 a month but now my year deal is up and it went up to $125 + tax. That's still $50 cheaper than when I had AT&T for phone and internet $100 a month and Dish Network $75 a month. (that went out everytime it rained, snowed, or got foggy, or sunny or the wind blew)
I have the entry level connection speed and I'm at 30.7 download and .98 upload.
I got a notice in my TWC bill a couple of months ago. Right now I'm "renting" my modem for $3.25 a month. They said I could return it and buy my own and gave me a list of compatable modems.
Toad, your download speed is about average for what we call high speed internet.
TWC had me swapping out so many modems one year that I bought my own. Problem is, if the modem goes down, you have to get another one. When you rent from TWC they repair (supposedly) it. I returned the bought one and stayed with TWC modems. I'm still gonna swap mine out later today, I hope.
I got a new modem. Same old shit from the TWC employee. He told me that I didn't need to swap out my modem if it is working OK. I explained and explained to him that one of the technicians told me the old modem was no good. even though I know it was alright. When the rep said, "I wouldn't swap it out," I almost lost it. I get different answers from each and every employee in customer support. This is not a new problem - it has persisted for decades. I am so sick of losing time and chasing all over town to fix THEIR problem on my account. Complete and utter assholes - that's what you get with a monopoly.
Now that we've openly measured, I feel very inferior. Mine is not as big as yours. ;>
