Reviewers Comments: We switched to TW, roadrunner after finding out our previous ISP added unauthorized charges
to our bill. This is the first time I have been in an area with only two ISP choices, gotta
say it's pretty awful.
TimeWarner was easy to sign on with and came out withing 5 days, great tech, good work.
Now on to the bad.
The service is terribly intermittent, I play online video games and can only pick up a
solid connection @2or3 AM. They are throttling down the speed badly here in daytime/evening
hours, or aren't checking maintenance of their system.
There is over 50% packet loss when I run ping tests, and that's with local servers... you
don't want to know about distant servers.
The Customer Service is, in a word, non-existent. After trying unsuccessfully to resolve
the issues with them i went ahead and improved router/modem settings and dropped their dns,
first for the google, then the free verizon, those were both improvements in download speed
but upload still stinks.
Bottom line: No Customer Support, useable speeds are around old dial-up speeds. Not a good
use of your money. i would not recommend TimeWarner to anyone. |
