I live in West Cary (High House & 55) as well and had the same problems everyone else here was having. A speed test using TWC's site showed a good connection, so they would not acknowledge a problem with their service. All other speed tests, and file download etc. were under 1 Mbps. Everything was back to normal speeds last night...however if this continues, I'll have to switch to U-Verse.
I have been noticing VPN issues but not speed issues. When I work from home my VPN drops a few times per hour for just a second or so, so VPN continuously reconnects. Anyone else seeing this? HH and 55 areas as well.
I have noticed that randomly my speeds will drop to 25%-50% of their normal speed (16 down/1 up). This happens more often on Sunday than any other day of the week. Also Skype has extremely poor performance generally. Not sure if that's an application issue but it frequently shuts my video off due to lack of bandwidth and the audio quality is less than stellar. Our speeds have been better since we switched from TW's worthless combo router/modem to separate devices, but it still has issues with connection dropps, poor speeds and high latency far too frequently.
BTW I live in Morrisville close to where most of you with issues seem to be. I lived in other parts of the Triangle over the previous three years and had almost no issues at all.

Funny, yesterday morning I was getting .9 down and up for a while with the needle jumping wildly on the speediest. It had fixed itself within a couple of hours.
Update: As of Friday 10/10/14, the speed issue is resolved, back to normal fast speeds.
