   EV> TW> Note that $14.99 is jsut a teaser rate to lock you in. Typicaly   
   EV> TW> that lasts for 6 months and in sone cases 1 year.   
      
   EV>IIRC, From my reading of the Fine Print on the postcard the price won't   
   EV>change.   
   EV>But I'd figure TWC would be sending Emails to their 2M Customers,   
   EV>saying something like "Double or Triple the speed for a few $$$$$$$$'s   
   EV>more", which would break the Fine Print on the original contract if the   
   EV>customer decided they wanted a little bit more speed, or they have   
   EV>heard from some friends how fast the higher Plans were.   
      
   Checked it out here and Right you are, the $14.99 has no time limit.   
   Their offers fo0r the higher speed limit are only for 12 months and then   
   go up.   
      
   Youy do need to pay an additional $5.99 to rent the Standard Modem   
   required or $10.94 for the Home WiFi Modem.   
   In bought my Cox WiFi modem because it would only take a little more   
   than 1 year of rental to pay for it.   
      
      
   EV> TW> My Cox Cable Teaser Rate was $19.99 and then went to the   
   EV> TW> standard rate of $39.99 and recently was raised to $46.99   
      
      
   EV>AFAIK there still isn't any Dial-Up BBS's, FIDONET or some other BBS   
   EV>Network I can call locally.   
      
   Same here, BBSing is Internet/Telnet or NONE, Well one could pay   
   longdistance charges I guess.   
      
   EV> TW> I have the 5 Mbps Cox plan and consintly get 5700 Kbps, As   
   EV> TW> measured by "Net Speed Monitor" that I have instaled in the   
   EV> TW> tool bar so I can monitor what its going on.   
      
      
   EV>Well I don't have to worry about Fiber getting in my area very soon.   
   EV>Many Years ago the telephone company ran Fiber down the State Highway   
   EV>to where a Gambling Riverboat was located in the next County, and as   
   EV>far as I can tell the cable companies still are using Coaxial wire on   
   EV>the telephone poles.   
      
   Same Here. They started instalng fiber to local Node points in my area   
   then cancled the project before it was finished.
