Time Warner customers that are still legacy TWC read this

So I check out this app called Nextdoor (basically a community app for neighborhoods around you in a radius) and someone posted about some dirty practices that Spectrum is doing now.    This post got like 30 replies of people having the same issue.   Apparently if you're still a legacy TWC customer, they are limiting your broadband speeds by a ton.     So make sure you check your speed (don't use speedtest.net, as ISPs are now opening that up more so you think you're getting more than you are) but try fast.com which Netflix runs.      I checked this morning, and sure enough, it's happening.    Most people think this started right after net neutrality was killed in June.     Spectrum even sent out a bunch of techs to these folks' home before finally someone explained to them what the deal is.    

I guess I'm going to have to switch since as Spectrum probably knows, I have no other options in my area.      Really shady, the practice, and also not noticing customers about said changes.     Best believe I'm going to ask for a credit for the last month of getting less than 75% of the speed I should have got.

Uverse, no issues.  I dumped Spectrum the second merger was finalized.

Really?  I tho uverse was all around Charlotte?  Well, that sucks.  Check how far away their line is.  5 years ago my neighborhood did not have a uverse so I called att and they said there is a line 500 yard from my house...  they pulled it for me lol.  It was amazing.

I used to play a lot of FPS video games and this speed gave me a clear advantage.  I saw people before they saw me.  I was reported for cheating a ton because they said I prefired before I saw them.  After Steam checked my internet speed, they just moved on.

If you could of just seen my video game network set up... I was proud of what I had and this year I quit video games after playing them for over 20 years.  I have 3 different routers that show 3 different locations.  Redirects for hackers and ddos attacks.  VPN switch on direct line that switches my ISP IP and my location every hour.  Now, I don’t care for any of it lol.  Still got crazy fast internet.

Weird. I've had Spectrum for 3 years now. Randomly bumped me from 100 to 200 MB/s and said that my bill wouldn't change. Haven't seen a price hike, but I did get throttled the other night (as did a buddy of mine who lives across the state). Streaming anything was completely impossible which is no good, because I use PS Vue for live TV and Netflix/Amazon/Youtube for binge watching shows and watching movies. Gaming was fine because my ping stuck at 34 ms as it usually does on bad days, then eventually returned to 14 ms. Some still say that is bad (it certainly isn't a 1-4 ping like I am sure some people here may get), but 14 is something I am used to.

Uverse is available in my area, but I've heard it's terrible for gaming. Can anyone confirm/dispel?

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
