I'm paying $110 a month for their basic cable and internet and it seems everyone around me is paying like $120ish for their digital cable and the highest internet package they got. Am I getting overcharged or am I just wishing they had faster internet?
7mbps down, 300kbps up sucks for live streaming and crap.
In most cases people with the digital tier/boxes are paying less because of promotional pricing, 2 year contracts, or they called and had their bill reduced. I know that when our promotional pricing ends, our bill will shoot up from $100 to almost $200/month. At that point we'll either lower it again or switch companies.
How does one know what level of internet service you have? I've had TWC's internet for years, and with their bundled bills, it doesn't really tell me what level I have - I'm sort of curious.
Haven't thought about the promotions and all. My grandparents have like 1000 channels or some package like that from them and their paying ~$220/mo for phone, tv, internet.
And TWC says their internet only goes up to 10mbps down, how the hell is my co-worker getting 24mbps down, 3mbps up with the same level internet from them as I get o.o

They might be able to tell you. I think the slower speeds are specifically called Roadrunner Lite or Basic.
Or you might be able to find out by doing a Speedtest here. If you're getting speeds that cap at 7...then you likely have the standard Roadrunner 7.0 service. If it goes above that, you likely have the faster service. And if it doesn't go over 1.5 mbps...then likely have Lite.

The 10.0 mbps plan may also come with TWC's speedboost...which means that you're guaranteed to get up to 10 mbps...but with speedboost (or whatever it's called) you can experience faster speeds when uploading/downloading or on occasions.
I guess they are only charging what they can squeeze out of their customers without too many people complaining I am tired of it though, and am going to install playon onto my Wii (I have Netflix streaming too) and dump TW cable, I'll still need the internet but at least there are a few companies competing for my business and I am currently paying $30 a month for internet only which I can live with I'd probably stay with TW Cable, but when I first got hooked up the installer apparently made a mistake and gave us the 2nd tier service, but then we had a problem with the wire coming into the house and the guy they sent to repair it disconnected the extra channels I liked some of the shows on the extra channels, but don't watch TV enough to justify actually paying for them! I wish there was a way to just pay for basic, and add extra individual channels you want to watch for a modest fee per channel, but that would make too much sense........
Only other channel my grandparents get that I wish I had was G4TV. They just added another dvr to their bedroom to lol.
But, really, I need a faster internet so bad, but there's no one else around here that can offer it. God I wished Google was doing their experiment there instead of in Topeka .
