I just moved down to Charlotte in February and signed up with TWC for internet and tv. But TWC internet seems to be inconsistant at best and I am not happy with them at all. Plus their upload speeds suck.

If you have DSL, could you tell me who you have and what your download/upload speed.

TWC has the fastest download speeds you'll find in Charlotte at 7 Mbps. The best AT&T and Windstream have to offer is 6 Mbps. Their upload speeds are a bit better however. If you have AT&T Uverse DSL, speeds of up to 24 Mbps are available for $65 a month. 12 Mbps is available for $45 dollars per month.

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with TWC anymore. But atleast they are trying. When I left Charlotte, they were at 2.5 mbps download and 384 kbps upload.

In Washington, I usually get around 16 mbps down and 8 mbps up. And contrary to almost everything, Comcast is a very good company. But they do charge quite a bit more than TWC.

Tensor, is that monthly cost in addition to having phone service with them? I really dont need a house phone, I am fine with just my iphone. If I can get that service, just internet alone, I would be willing to pay that.

Previously I lived in Hickory where Charter offers up to 16 Mbps and 2.5 Mbps upload and they were always consistant with their service. I loved Charter and to having to go from great to bad really sucks.

Not true. TWC hits 20-22mb/s at all times for me, and that's WITHOUT the 9.99 turbo boost (which will get it even further up there). I will tell current TWC this, if they have a old modem they need to call TWC. The old modems have small memory and TWC recently boosted speeds and the old modems can't handle it. After monitoring my speeds for a week I called them and basically a guy came out and gave me a new modem and all is well.

If you live in South Charlotte, I bet uVerse IS an option. That's one of the few places it's available right now and I know someone that has down there.

Ill call and find out. I have had 2 techs come out and determine my problem was a main line problem, but weeks after the work order shows completed, Im still having intermittant speed issues. I dont think the modem is my issue.

I will call ATT and see about uVerse. I would think though that the customer service people would use the same footprint that they offer on the site. Did they immediately tell you it was available to you or did you have to tell them your neighbor had it before they told you it was available?

You don't have to pay for turbo boost. Turbo boost only works for the first 10 seconds of a download anyway. With the turbo boost, I hit about 10-12Mbps, then it drops down to between 7 and 8. The upload is still woefully bad.

I meant to say turbo charge not boost. Been downloading a large file over the last 3-4 hours, I get about 11-12mb actually, when you take boost out of the fact. Turbo "charge" should get you up there. My friend went from downloading 950k/s to 1.4mb/s with the upgrade.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
