TWC Rolling Out Faster Internet Speeds

[chknwing]

Starting this week, TWC Internet customers in the Charlotte area will receive the faster Internet speeds as part of the first phase of the rollout. Areas in this first phase include East Charlotte, Old Steele Creek Road, the West Boulevard Corridor, West Morehead Street and Wilkinson Boulevard in the city of Charlotte, as well as the communities of Albemarle, Belmont, Bessemer City, Cramerton, Danby, Gastonia, Huntersville, Patterson Springs, Pineville, Plyer, Ranlo and Shelby. Customers throughout the remainder of Charlotte and surrounding areas will see their speeds increase by the end of fall 2015.

The Internet transformation beginning this month includes speed increases on TWC residential Internet plans at no additional cost, with customers experiencing increases up to six times faster, depending on their current level of Internet service.

For example, customers who subscribe to Standard, formerly up to 15 Mbps, will now receive up to 50 Mbps, customers who subscribe to Extreme, formerly up to 30 Mbps, will now receive up to 200 Mbps; and customers who subscribe to Ultimate, formerly up to100 Mbps, will receive up to 300 Mbps, at no extra charge.

Did the same thing last year in SoCal at no charge.

Shortly after that they raised their rates.

Just curious, how much does the city of Charlotte receive for every TWC customer?

We had the upgrade 2 weeks ago. Shortly after they sent me the new modem to support the faster speeds, our internet went out for 4 days because the booster got fried somehow.

Anyone seen their speeds go up yet , im in east charlotte and nothing yet for me.

Getting about 225 or so in Huntersville.  They upgraded us a few weeks ago.  New modem is complete crap, though.

I bought my own modem, got it hooked up last night and got the speed boost.  The old one couldn't handle it, I knew it wouldn't but still messed up TWC didn't notify me.

Am glad that I made the swap to U-Verse.  I actually have fiber on the side of my house now.  I expected it to the curb, but not through the yard.  Tech offered to pop in 1Gb, but I declined after hearing the price for it.  If I start housing my own little data center, I'll get back to them.  Until then, 30Mb is proving to be more than what I need.

Had to get a new modem , speed is now 300 down and 20 up , but its pulling around 350 on the download speed wired.

In Concord/Kannapolis area here. Have to wait till 11.04 to get the speed upgrade. Bleh.
