So I had to call Time Warner Cable today, since I’m moving apartments at the end of the week, and needed my service transferred. In the process, I found it necessary to go to their website and review my subscribed services. Boy am I glad I did.
I found that I was not a Roadrunner subscriber, but actually an Earthlink subscriber. And that costs $5 more per month. For the same speed of service. (Standard RR is $39.95 if you already have digital cable, and I do.) And then I saw that there’s something called TURBO CHARGED ROADRUNNER. It’s just $9.95 more per month. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE. If you talk to them long enough on the phone, they’ll eventually inform you that there’s a special on, whereby you get Turbo Charged RR for the same price as the standard service, $39.95/month, for 12 months.
So, in review, I cut my internet bill by $5 and nearly doubled my connection speed. Turbo RR is 10Mbps down, 512Kbps up. Yippie! DSL Reports confirms those numbers are pretty close…
