Not doubled ... but definitely going past the 50/5 I'm paying for ... holler.

1/6/2014 8:49:47 PM

^ TWC bumped their 50/5 up to 60/6 (unofficially). I have not seen more than 55/5.5 but thats what one of their tech's mentioned the other day.

So what does everybody pay for internet these days? I finally moved where real broadband is available and managed to grab a 25 Mbit $29.99 internet only plan with Comcast for 12 months. Comes out to $32 after taxes. Every time I test it, it's between 28-30Mbit so I am actually getting a little more than what I pay for and not less like I had expected. I know people like to hate on Comcast, but I gotta say I'm pretty satisfied with the speed for the price. Bumping it up to 50Mbit would have been $84 a month which is almost triple what I'm paying for 25. And since I've been living with 3Mbit for the last 6 years, this 25 seems like a dream to me. I just found out last week I could sign up with Centurylink and get 30Mbit for the same $29.99, but I'd have to drop $99 on a new DSL modem, so I'm going to stick with Comcast until the 12 months runs out or something else changes.

3/26/2014 5:17:09 PM

We moved and got a $60/month for basic cable and 50/10 internet with Comcast. I get about 53/54 down and 12/13 up consistently. I'm happy with it. We're moving again in July and might try out Century Link Fiber which is coming to Denver. They apparently offer 40/20 for like $35/month.

3/26/2014 6:03:00 PM

Too fucking much.

I love U-verse's TV service, but their internet prices are a fucking scam. I pay $51 for 6Mbs (-$5 promotion if you stay on top of it).

3/26/2014 6:09:25 PM

TWC.. Like $53/mo for ~20, and this is some "special" for a year

3/26/2014 6:40:16 PM

44.99 for TWC 20/2. I call every single time they raise my rate by a penny and threaten to leave.

3/26/2014 7:39:41 PM

Comcast Internet is golden, I had there blast plus deal 50mb down. It tested in the 40's regularly.

3/26/2014 9:57:09 PM

Comcast still provides you with a cablebox with only RCA out.

3/27/2014 10:50:27 AM

It's amazing uverse has the balls to call 6Mbs service "Elite" in 2014.

4/2/2014 12:09:33 PM

After like 7 years Suddenlink finally going to start sticking it to me.

10Mbit was $35 in 2007
15Mbit was $35 in 2009 or so
20Mbit was $45 in 2012
50Mbit has been $55 for a year or so now but they finally implemented the cap they said they never would.

With 2 roommates and Netflix/DirecTV On Demand/HBO Go/x264 350GB too hard to maintain. Interesting to see what the overages will be next month. (3 months then they charge)

4/2/2014 12:52:21 PM

I guess at some point you've got to figure if you consume a shitton of data you're gonna have to start paying for it right?

Do TWC and/or uverse do caps?

4/2/2014 2:19:52 PM

Hmm $35/month for Comcast 50 down and 10 up or $30/month for CenturyLink 40 down 5 up. Moving into a new place. As much as I hate Comcast that's not a bad deal although they'll probably double it in a year. Guess I could switch back and forth between the two haha.

anybody have issues with TWC wideband slowing down during peak hours or is that "shared internet" issue a myth nowadays?

I definitely notice between 6 -8PM weekdays my speed is sometimes half the normal test speed. Our housing development is relatively new and has a lot of homes at the edge of TWC's provider area so I believe the "trunk" line gets overwhelmed from all that community netflix / homework / 6 o'porn.

11/21/2014 6:53:56 PM

^^ How the F are you getting 50 upload? You on some business circuit?

But yes most nodes are oversubscribed. Everyone comes home and as ^ said, it craps out.

Hmm weird for the last week I've been getting 125mbps / 15mpbs from Comcast. I pay for 50/10 for $35/month. Wonder if that was an accident.



[Edited on December 20, 2014 at 3:34 PM. Reason : s]

Nah, everyone who was paying for 50mbps is now getting 105mbps. Happened to me too,

according to this 120 a month (thats where I got the speed test pict). Have verified with several people at work that this is valid in a few parts of Apex but not much. Mainly brand new developments.

A formal announcement might come as early as next week at Google events in Raleigh and Durham, but the company won't say what those events are about. Speaking to WRAL TechWire, a source who asked to remain anonymous said Google is seeking bids to begin building a fiber network as early as April. "Drill crews" have been sought for the fiber-laying process. Google has been talking with Triangle-area engineering firms as well about a network, added another source who declined to be quoted by name.."

I get a pretty solid 30/5 at home with TWC. AT&T just finished laying fiber on my street in North Raleigh, but I doubt they or Google will actually do installations in my area. Hopefully the TWC upgrades will roll out sooner rather than later.

haha, I had to go dig up my old NCSU passwords to login!

That thread your reading about over at DSLReports is mine... Here is proof, from a current speed test.



It is $120/month was a supposedly 1TB cap, but I have long exceeded that lol. Its only a $30 max overage for unlimited if they actually bill me for it. Oh well, riding the light costs money.

They didn't seem to have a problem putting that shit in St. James and Brunswick Forest and both those neighborhoods are older than mine.

Something went wrong with my TWC connection. (Note I am connected to a proxy.) I pay for 30/5 mbps service and it is going way faster than it should. IIRC 350 mbps is actually the fastest this cable modem supports.

1/28/2015 10:20:56 PM

Roommates keep binge watching shows like Sopranos and The Wire. 350GB allowance results in 80/mo for 75meg (which used to be 50Mb). Found out 150/15 (used to be 120) was available for 90/mo with a 500GB cap.



I'll take it.

I recently switched to Uverse 45Mbps internet, but couldn't ever break about 23Mbps with the default wireless AP they have built in to the modem.

I just picked this up: http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RTAC68U/

And on the 5Ghz network, it easily reaches 45Mbps internet, and i've measured a 80Mbps file transfer to a desktop PC (which is the max, since it's only on a 100Mbps connection). Wireless pings are in the same range as wired pings (30ms or so-- not too good but it's ADSL).
