   EV>Howdy! Tom,   
      
   EV>Time Warner keeps sending me Advertisements in my Postal Mailbox about   
   EV>their broadband internet at the fixed price of $14.99 USD Guaranteed.   
      
   Note that $14.99 is jsut a teaser rate to lock you in. Typicaly that   
   lasts for 6 months and in sone cases 1 year.   
   My Cox Cable Teaser Rate was $19.99 and then went to the standard rate   
   of $39.99 and recently was raised to $46.99   
      
   EV>Since You started using Cable broadband I was wondering what Rate do   
   EV>You get downloads at?, and what Speed Plan do You use?   
      
   I have the 5 Mbps Cox plan and consintly get 5700 Kbps, As measured by   
   "Net Speed Monitor" that I have instaled in the tool bar so I can   
   monitor what its going on.   
      
      
   EV>I have read Cable has Rate Plans up to 50M, but not interested in   
   EV>having the TWC folks install their gear here at any speed, I'm just   
   EV>interested (Nosey) What Rate of Downloads You (Or Anyone) get at the   
   EV>Speed Plan You/They use.   
      
   Those speeds are typically only avilable with a Fiber connection
