I recently switched from verizon dsl (at 3m download) to road runner cable (with up to 10m/s download).
With DSL, I used to get around 2.5M constant download speed, but ever since I switched to RR, my download speed during daytime is around 500kbits/sec. (at night time it goes up to 7m, but I don't use internet at night so it's useless)
I understand that since cable uses shared network, the speed will be slow during peak time, but 500kbits/sec (1/20 the promised speed!) seems ridiculously slow!
I called up TWC (about 10 times) and after going through all trouble shooting procedures they finally sent out a technician to my home and tested the line and said the outside lines in my building (i live in an apartment) needs maintenance. I just called TWC today and verified that the outside line maintenance was done few days ago, but the speed did not improve.
Is RR supposed to be this bad during peak time? Is there any way to fix this or should i switch back to dsl?
