Roadrunner Speeds go up in Milwaukee

[smack]

Is it for all RR customers?  I just have the regular home svc connected via wi fi to my laptop.

I rebooted once and it didn't seem to make a difference with speedtest.

You won't notice a thing if you have 802.11b except for a faster upload speed.  Might be a little faster with 802.11g.

Here's mine



I went up from 4800 after a reboot.

I do still wish  I got better uploads though.

Biz Class....

[e-man]

Biz class here too.  Wow, mine really improved.

[LoadStar]

This morning I only did a soft reboot (went to the modem's webpage and triggered a reboot). Tonight I actually did the unplug for 15 seconds then reboot...

MUCH better. (good thing I didn't end up getting around to calling... I can deal with 15 meg/1.5 meg speeds...)

I just emailed my rep at Time Warner, and she said that everyone ( I assume she's talking about the Business Class customers) who's getting a speed boost has also gotten a rate increase... Is that true?

I'm on Biz Class (and I noticed a speed increase thanks to this thread - thanks guys!)   I checked my most recent bill (7/27) and it is the same as the previous ones.

I kinda had a feeling.

Not that I don't believe sales reps, mind you...

But I was also just told that she was "fairly certain" that no residential customers are getting 7 – 15mb down.  

Are any of you guys getting these higher speeds with residential service? And if so, can I ask what you're paying (residential and business class alike)?

If you're not comfortable posting that information publicly, feel free to email me.

$40.95 a month for biz class.  According to the FAQ site for the deal I get, this is the difference between biz class and residential:  Time Warner Cable Business Class Internet Service speed is 7m x 1mb. Road Runner residential service speed is 7M x 512K.

No rate increase here yet, and if they tried to retroactively bill me for the speed increase, I think I'd have a problem with it... I was OK with the old speed (but glad to get the new speed!)

$38.95/month biz class for me.

$38.95/month biz class for me.

$39?

Residential is $45 and the speed is much slower. How did you get that price?

It is dependent on the number of private business class users at my work place.  The more that sign up, the lower the price.  I was at 40.95 for quite a while and noticed we dropped to 38.95 recently.

I am at $39 for Biz class, and that is also due to my work place's agreement with TWC.
