Also... fuck TWC. I had to return a cable box and modem after moving a few months ago, and they made me go to a fucking return center way uptown where I took a number (like at the deli counter), received serious blacktitude for asking a simple question, and waited a goddamn hour and a half just to hand over a fucking box.
- That's bullshit. They HAVE to give you the option to have someone come to your home. They'll try to get you to come in but you can always make the request.CyBrainX

- I tried, but they refused. It was such a waste of time. I was upset at their inefficiency.monospaced

I'm moving to a new apartment next weekend and I think the only option is RCN. As a previous TWC customer, and having had FiOS in the past, am I going to be disappointed? It seems like RCN promises really fast default internet speeds, an HD TiVO, and bundles priced lower than the competition. What's the catch?

Time warner is fucking SLOW! I paid for an upgrade in internet to MEGA speed and it's still super shite.

My sister has verizon and it's slow as ass. RCN was decent.

verizon is a piece of shit. they use fiberoptic cables, which means if your building is wired for it, you get a new cable stapled to your walls. plus you get like 5 huge boxes and transformers you have to hide or live with.
i enjoyed RCN, they have a partnership with TiVo—so you basically get a tivo dvr box. not a lot of equipment.
