> [@jabbu](#): > > I’m sure if i worked at verizon i’d assume people are flocking in for FIOS as well and TW is doomed… However that is far from the truth. Buffalo TW will be doing alot this year to expand HD, TW just took over Adelphia here a year ago, which was a company that put enough money into buffalo to keep the system running the next day. TW dumped alot of money into the crap left behind, they can’t just come in and flip a crap system into a top of the line over night. I think they’ve done quite well, launching phone and already hitting 20k+ customers in just a few months… TW is going very strong in buffalo, take it how you want, you seem a bit misinformed though. That is most certianly untrue, adelpia did huget hings to expand their market and were in the middle of updrading their infrastructure when all the shit went down. They were about to move the company’s operations to buffalo. I was with the company in 01 and it was nothing but blue sky back then. And then tim regis decided to play monopoly with the company’s money. > [@BooStang](#): > > I find it pretty suspect that Powerlink suddenly had more bandwidth once FIOS started becoming readily available. > > TimeWarner (locally at least) has been saying “We’ve had Fiber for years, its our infrastructure”, well, then why the hell didn’t they move their bandwidth caps upwards until just AFTER FIOS started gaining more momentum? > > Everyone I know that has had PowerRunner for years is salivating for FIOS to get to them. Well, everyone that actually has and / or uses a PC. So, figure, honestly, 30 out of 30 other nerds. The bandwidth was always there but docsis 2.0 wasn’t implemented until mid-late 2005 so it wouldn’t have mattered. Then the modems needed to be swapped in most cases. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/roadrunner-going-to-metered-billing/42012)._
