can they beat TWC's 7mbps service for $34.95/month? because that's what i have now (no television or voip, and i don't care about upload speeds)

we had their (TWC) "business" class at my old place, and we have just the 3mps through U-verse... U-verse is some how working better, quicker, and with no drops. TWC, I guess because they have so many customers, cannot keep the guaranteed speeds up. I mean, they gave me great dl and ul speeds before, but most of the time it was crap (clogging their system). No problems thus far with U-verse though

^^per TWC's website the 1.5Mbps download rate is $32.95 and 7.0Mbps download rate is $42.95. So you must have some kind of deal working them over.

well, yeah...it takes all of 5 minutes to call them up, say you're going to go with DSL if they don't give you a deal, and they'll give you their "special" of $34.95 for regular (7mbps) service...i do it every 12 months when they change my rate

other than the necessity of having to waste my time to get them to lower the price back to something reasonable, i have no complaints about TWC...i'm assuming AT&T can't beat their value in this particular situation

AT&T doesn't offer a 7.0Mbps rate, but I think they do offer 10Mbps. Combo'd with a comparable TV package U-Verse was cheaper.

I don't really care about internet speed though. I don't work from home so what do I care.

I'm bailing on TWC as soon as I can.

for any raleigh natives, does anyone remember what the cable company was called before it became Time Warner? It was awesome back then...

and speaking of TWC, my parents wanted to get roadrunner installed. they called and TWC scheduled it last Wednesday from 7-9PM. That was fishy enough.

9:02PM rolls around and a guy in a station wagon pulls up. It takes him until 10:00PM to install RR. He had to go back to the truck and get a different modem twice, had to go to the box and do something (shouldn't have been difficult, they had RR a few years back).

I seem to remember "Cablevision" way way way back in the day.

i'm as serious as hell

i would have switched to direct tv by now, but i can't pick up the pbs digital suite on hd antenna and direct tv doesn't offer the whole pbs package

my "go to" stations are the pbs suite, tcm, fuse, vh1c, ovation, espn suite

if i knock out one or two of those things, i seriously have to start dealing with some television garbage

^have you contacted AT&T about it? asked why they don't have it? can they get it?
