Imagine what will happen without net neutrality and the host of other issues.
Yep. I can confirm time warner is trash.
Fraud. They would charge customers for speeds they know they can't deliver, then bump up speeds in lower usage areas to bring the average up and make it look like every thing was above board.

Can't wait until Trump guts the FCC completely and our internet only has to "feel" like it's fast to not be out of compliance with consumer protection laws
Schneiderman is a good guy as far as politicians go. Republicans tried to redistrict him out of office years ago and he survived. Nice to see someone I voted for actually win and be able to do some good things.
Among other things, he's the one that brought the civil suit against Trump and his fake university.

You can bet it's throttling, or then Time Warner has done 0 investment in infrastructure since 1950s.
I do too, usually, but the past couple weeks my speeds have been shit and I don't know why.

Good. I almost had the speeds Time Warner advertised with their Maxx program. Afterwards, Spectrum took over and noticed half my speed was dropped and yet I still paid the same amount every month. I dropped them as soon as Verizon Fios came to my building.
Time Warner/Spectrum sucks.

Fuck yes. TWC is trash and I have no other choice. I would love a class action suit.
They also raise your bill without your permission. It got to where I was paying $70 (!!!) a month for JUST internet. Now every year I call and bitch them out on the phone and they give me the fastest service for 40 bucks a month. You have to strong arm these fuckers or they just bend you over.
Call them up, be firm, be outraged with your price and your speeds, and then just lie and say that you can get better rates elsewhere. They will drop your rate and your service will magically get better!
Still hate their awful company though.

TWC in NYC is trash. Not only they options are expensive and slow. They don't offer more than 300, which is shameful for a major city .

I paid more money for less than half the speed w Comcast in Florida.
also, whatcha need 300 for? curious
This is legit, and not just about downtime. (NYC)
Many of the offices i support use TW and have IP phones (not through tw). There are CONSTANT issues with the lines (dirty, dropped calls).
This is not the case with the other two providers our offices use.
There is ALWAYS latency. Pings between 25-120ms. I understand 25 is fine. But the fact that it is consistently inconsistant says something to me. Again the other two providers do not have anything at all going on like this (usually pings steady 30's)
No matter how many times they go work on the node or monitor the connection etc, IT NEVER GETS FIXED.
Their infrastructure sucks and it is literally unable to do what they are trying to make it do. Its incredibly frustrating for offices in tw zones that arent able to get fios yet.

I find that this is a regional/market specific issue.
I am in northeast Wisconsin (Green Bay/Fox Valley area) and have had Time Warner for internet access for nearly a decade.
My service has always performed better than expected. Most recently I was on their 50/5 plan and always got around 60/6 via speed tests (speedtest.net and fast.com) and also Steam. Just this month I was bumped to 60/5 plan and am provisioned at 70/6. I can achieve these speeds around the clock.

I am actually thinking of upgrading to their 300/20 plan that was just introduced here. My friend just got it and is testing closer to 335.

Turns out it's both (allegedly).
There's a good amount of net neutrality language in the lawsuit, which directly references Charter's tift with Netflix.
Sounds kind of like gerrymandering

On Comcast as soon as we dumped their modem/router it became significantly better. Now we're going to have to start dealing with caps because apparently less than 1% "abusing" internet warranted it, which I'm not sure how they do when paying for unlimited internet etc.
