If you live in the KC Metro area, and subscribe to Road Runner from Time Warner Cable, you're in for a nice surprise. In an effort to compete with the New ATT, Time Warner has pumped up their bandwidth. Although the new speeds aren't published on the official web site, I spoke with a Time Warner representative today after noticing the increase.
Here are the new speeds, which should roll out to all KC metro area Road Runner customers very soon:
- Standard Road Runner: 7Mbps downstream, 512Kbps upstream
- Road Runner Turbo: 10Mbps downstream, 1Mbps upstream
I recently upgraded to the Turbo package (blogging about it here)... and now I'm even happier with my decision.
Fellow WindowsConnected blogger Aubrey had to reboot his cable modem twice to get the upgrade. Considering we both live in different parts of the city, the metro-wide rollout is making quick progress.
One more thing - my ping times seem to have gone WAY down. Check out the SpeedTest.net screen shot for all the juicy details. Cheers!
