Here's one more example that competition benefits consumers.

Time Warner said last week that its Road Runner high-speed Internet customers in Syracuse, New York will be getting faster download and upload speeds as part of their standard package at no additional charge. Starting September 15, Road Runner cable modem speeds will be bumped up to 10 megabits per second for downloads and 1Mbps for uploads from the standard speeds of 5Mbps/384 kilobits per second.

If they can do that there, then they should be able to do it every where.

They have taken over Adelphia here too. I hope they increase our speeds.... oh, and some more HD channels would be nice too. Booyah.

at 10/1 speeds, it should be cheaper than FIOS. FIOS is offered in my area for only $35/mo. for the basic 15/3 package.
