dtanderson Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 by the time they get to me, world gonna come to the end 585111547[/snapback] Same here, Sprint is our local company and they have no plans to offer anything like FIOS. They are still trying to push DSL, always getting mail and calls trying to get me to sign up. I will stick with my cable modem -- faster and cheaper. Sprint is always behind everyone else, they took their time with starting DSL because they were working on some technology called ION (or something like that) and after it failed then the jumped on the DSL bandwagon and were way behind and now they are going to be behind on fiber :) Alister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tohaveunow Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Today... Time Warner Cable (Austin, Texas) is upgrading Road Runner, in this Area, and I believe nationwide. from 2mbps to 5mbps... this is a silly question. but will there really be a big difference in internet performance? will pop-up popup quicker.. etc?

Trunten Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 This, and the recent new Neowin servers, has made my Neowin experience quite a nice enjoyable improvement. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1K3L Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I used to live in a Cox Served Area... Speed was 3000/256. Well, We had to move into a Mediacom Served area... and I heard that mediacom just went from 1500/128 to 3000/256.. So I was like "That's great.. I'll have the same speed.. i was worried about only having 1500" Well, SOON as we move, Cox up's the speed to 4000/512 and 5000/512.. boy was i mad :angry: I then hear DSL in this area just went up to 3000/384.. again, that made me even more mad :angry: Next thing I know.. Every cable company left and right is going up 5000 or higher.. and here I'm crawling at this 3000 speed which I have been using for the past 4 or 5 years. When I had Mediacom@home years ago, back in 2001, My speeds were 5000/1500 for $30 a month!! and here 4 years later, I'm surfing at this 3000/256.. Really sad. @Home was great.
