![]() Spectrum offers 300mbps in some areas but you need a modem that can run that fast. ![]() The ISP have been upgrading their equipment also. The modems you list though are on most ISP supported. If you are looking to replace the cable modem thing to check is what modems the ISP supports in your area. The routers that claim 1200 speed are pretty much the new entry level models. It really doesn't pay to buy older equipment when the new stuff will drop back and support the old protocols if your really need it. You can find other brands for a couple dollars less if you want. You can get something like a asus rt-1200 for $50. The costs have come way down so it tends to not save any money to buy 802.11n equipment. I would go to a 802.11ac router even if your end equipment can not accept it yet. I am not sure what the re-9000 would do for you, I think it is a repeater that can function as a router. So all your issues pretty much have to be related to the old AP since that is your only wifi source. But at least they appear to be listening.It is surprising to see a router used that does not have wifi. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, and appreciate your loyalty as a Time Warner Cable Turbo Internet customer. We will contact you again when the new speeds are available. While Time Warner Cable plans to increase your Broadband speeds at no additional charge this year, the faster speeds are not yet available in your area. We apologize to you for sending that email prematurely. So what should appear last night in my e-mail.? Read the following:Įarlier today you received an email from us announcing increased Broadband Internet speeds. By that time I had wasted two hours on the damn thing. Fifteen minutes later, I receive an automated telephone call from Time Warner asking me to again rate my experience with their customer service. In disgust I tell him he's not been helpful, then fill out the on-line evaluation giving Time Warner the lowest ratings I can and one more time explaining my plight. "Sharam" is not very sympathetic and eventually gives me the same "company line" about my service contract only calling for "up to ONE Mbps" in upload speed. Two analysts later I had now spent over an hour, re-booting, re-setting, and explaining my tale. He said he would expedite me to another analyst. Benjamin eventually looked up my account and replied that I was only supposed to be getting "up to 1 Mbps." In response, I sent him the text of the announcement and a link to a web version of the same. We checked thing and tested again, re-set the modem, re-booted the modem and each time kept getting the same numbers. So I decided to call them on it and within a few minutes was texting away, chatting with "Benjamin" on the Time Warner Support Desk. A quick "chat" with one of their "analysts" using the Time Warner Support Desk and I had the modem re-booted and re-set and was content and back to my advertised "up to 1 Mbps" upload speed So, from this experience I knew what my upload speeds were a week ago, and clearly, despite the announcement, there was no "100% increase" today. Ironically, I had called Time Warner just last week because my upload speed was almost nonexistent. I checked again, this time using Roadrunner's own speed testing application. But this was tempered when the upload speed was still registering 0.97 Mbps. Your new Broadband Turbo download speed is up to 20 Mbps, and your upload speed is up to 2 Mbps, increases of 33% and 100%!Įxcitedly, I immediately checked my speed with and was gleeful when the meter for download struck around 30 Mbps. We've already upgraded our equipment, and your modem has been updated. This increase is already complete, and you didn't have to do a thing. Now you'll have even more speed to do what you love on the Internet - at speeds even faster than before - at the same great price! Time Warner Cable is happy to announce we have increased your Internet speed. With this as a background, I was thrilled to receive an e-mail yesterday that stated this: I do a lot of uploads in a day and time is money. At least with DSL I was getting uploads around 2 Mbps. But I have not been impressed with upload speeds in the neighborhood of 1 Mbps. And yes, I have been pleased with the rather impressive download speeds (between 20 - 30 Mbps) I have been experiencing since switching over from Fairpoint's DSL about 10 months ago. Yes, they are infinitely better than my previous cable supplier, Adelphia the company whose CEO and president were sent to prison for corruption. I am not a big fan of my cable and internet provider, Time Warner. Update: April 23 - TWC sent out notice about the upgrade. ![]() NOTE/UPDATE: ApShhhh.don't tell anyone, but this week I noticed that my Time Warner Cable account is achieving 20 Mbps download speeds and 2 MBPS upload speeds.
