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...

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
