^^boxxa are you on TW? cuz thats a awesome upload lol. NVM I see the ISP now.

Buick and VQ did you 2 have the premium package? I checked my mail and it said some of the premium packages got stuck with the wrong boot file.

Also no word on what the upgrade of speed is, I believe (don’t quote me) is around 8mb/512kb for standard and a boot up to 10mb/1mb for premium. This is of course to combat the entrance of fios… I know we were doing testing in LA with fiber @ 15/2 but I doubt we’d ever see that here. Also digital phone should be on the way as well. I’ll ask around at work later and find out whats going on with the speed upgrades.

Hey at least you upload speed is nearly as fast as your download speed. That’s unheard of.

channel 2 just had an interview with some PR broad from time warner, who basically said that people who said they had to wait an hour on the phone were lying, and how the outage didn’t affect most of the area.
