Rat Bastards at Time Warner raising rates

[Mr. Laz]

Now the modems will have a monthly fee and the internet service gets a monthly fee bump


turns out to be about 15 bucks a month increase for internet in our area


might be increasing the T.V. fees too but haven't seen that yet.

So, does anyone have experience with Earthlink broadband in the KC area? I was looking at this - http://www.earthlink.net/access/cable.faces - and briefly chatted with a sales person. 15 Mbps down/1 Mbps up, $39.90/mo for the first 6 months. No contracts, no installation/setup fee, and they don't charge for the modems. Its a little better than TWC prices, but I don't want to do it if the service is crap.

I dumped AT&T for Earthlink. I got the 10 Mbps service for 29.99/mo. It goes to $42/mo. after six months. About the cheapest I could find for a decent connection. I've had it since May and have had no problems.

All that "bundle" bullshit just means they have a hand in it all and will get their money one way or another.

That and it goes to partially fund cable access for those considered low income.

Good to know. Thanks.

Yeah. I need to go buy a modem also for time warner to get rid of the fee. It pays for itself in a year or less.

Hurry up google fiber.

If you do that you know they will blame 'your' modem anytime anything goes wrong.

They all do that in reality. I pay just under 60 a month for Mediacom here in Illinois, internet only. Just keep renting their Cisco box because it works very well. I never get close to the data limit, and the speed is real solid.
