Internet Service Providers High Speed Internet - Time Warner

Like Comcast in Vermont, Time Warner inherited the old Adelphia cable business in Maine. I spoke to them yesterday, and speaking for the midcoast region of Maine, this is what I learned about their high speed internet offering.

Time Warner offers 3 levels of service. The first is called Road Runner Lite. Their advertised speeds for this service are 750 kbps download and 128 kbps upload.

The next level is called Road Runner High Speed Online and is their standard offering. Advertised speeds are 5 mbps download and 384 kbps upload.

Finally, there is Road Runner Turbo. This advertises speeds of 10 mbps download and 768 kbps upload.

If you are a Time Warner Road Runner customer, check out your speed at speedtest.net and see where you fit in. If you do not know which of the three plans you are on, the chances are you are on the standard offering plan and should see download speeds near 5 mbps. I would be interested in hearing what your results are.
