By Nate Mook | Published December 15, 2004, 1:46 PM
Time Warner has unwrapped a holiday gift for its cable Internet subscribers: faster downloads. The company plans to roll out increased speeds of 5Mbits and 8Mbits per second, a 2Mbit boost for its standard and premium RoadRunner cable offerings. Customers in New York will see the improved download speeds starting next Tuesday, while the rest of the country will reap the benefits come January. Time Warner says it will not increase prices for its 3.7 million broadband users.
Gotta Love TWC. They sure do a good job of keeping us happy :-)
So I'll be paying $45 per month for 5Mb download speed. That rocks!

|you're not going to get it for free for dumb bittorrent uploads.
on the other hand i'd be happy to pay 10 extra bucks a month to use it when i'm uploading stuff to the company server from home.

|All this does is give them a reason to raise the prices like they do every year. And as the others posted, we need faster upload speeds.

|Upload speeds are going from 384 on what is now the regular package to 512. However, those who are happy with their speeds right now will be able to save money and purchase a "lite" package for like 26.95 a month.
