So like everyone else im paying way too much for a service I can get cheaper elsewhere, problem is clearwire is not available where I live, any other options? Im paying like $35 for the RR Lite, terrible, and it drops and resets all of the time. I have changed modems through the company several times and no change, anyone have any other suggestions...

Go bitch at them for a speed upgrade and price cut. They paid for me to cancel my dish, then sped me up to 10Mbps and gave me cable with free showtime for $75 a month. The promotion length is 2 years. They can do better than what they are giving you obviously.

Not your service unless you are downloading a poo ton of stuff. I have RR as well. I would also do as someone suggested and call them about a faster speed for a better price but I would check your firmware, reset your router. You can also do a connection speed.

Honestly though, spend more money. Things are expensive but your like the guy with dial up. I despise broadband and slower options because you just get raped $ wise compared to other services. I happen to love time warner because they offer me 50mbps, a fast a fug service that not many offer. But they offer different sizes. Tell them you'll upgrade for a resonable price and you'd probably only end up paying a few dollars more for an extra 100%+ speed, time warner are like the cell phone companies and can be haggled with.

Well I had a similar issue and drops in speed at around 5pm. You gonna have to call and complain alot to time warner before they actual send out the right technician to check the node. Chances are , it may need to be split. Call them and ask them when they are suppose to do the Docsis 3.0 upgrade to the headend. Problem is, they have too many people on 1 node. it needs to be split. Just timewarner being timewarner and trying to save a buck. Also check into windstream, see if they are available in ur area. You can do the Dish Network/Windstream bundle and ditch timewarner alltogether.

Thanks everyone for your help. I am still with them but I called and complained twice, so they sent out a tech the next day. I was suprised due to all the times before they said it would take a week or 2 to get someone out to the house, also they upgraded my service substantially and they reduced my rate by $4.00. Much better, I guess with compainies like this if you complain enough they will eventually do something. It shouldn't be that way but I guess buisness is buisness...

      So we basically are going to be able to put a full roster of canes prospects on the ice in Chicago next year.

      The “draft” isn’t for another few minutes. So if that board is accurate the NHL just got fugged.

      BREAKING: Panthers signing Rashad Penny

      Yes you know I will make my negative comments about Bryce Young’s quarterbacking, darn right. As long as he is inflicted on us, serving up smelly highlights. I wasn’t trying to then though. It probably is just hard to see stuff talking about a constricted field, likely a limited passing game, and references to a game manager ceiling, tippy toes, etc, as positive. I was thinking about adapting the pro game to his game. Trying to visualize what that will look like. Trying to imagine how they were going to go about it. Same as I was doing last year, but that arrived totally DOA and just ghosted. So we have yet to see what a custom fit 'play to Young’s strengths' offense would look like. I can see in my mind a way it would work, or function. It really isn’t the kind of ball I care about watching though.  Real innovation could make it into something that works in a way that hasn’t been tried, which would be real cool. But the odds say nah,  we are not going to witness the birth of a new and revolutionary NFL trend, not here, not with this bunch. It is gonna the small ball point guard express with lots of handoffs.  Zzzzz.  edit: I guess you are not remembering all the people telling the complainers to go root for the Texans and just being hostile and insulting if you spoke against little brother.
