RCN Cable Internet Service?

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has experience with RCN's cable internet service...

I currently have Earthlink DSL but the price is expensive ($52/month) and the speeds aren't all that great (Downstream-864 Kbps /Upstream-160 Kbps in ACTUAL rates, advertised as up to 3Mbps Downstreat / Upstream about the same).

With RCN's new Mach5 service, they're advertising speeds of 5.0 Mbps Download / 800 Kbps Upload, which is significantly faster than Earthlink DSL. I havn't called for pricing yet, but I can't imagine it being more than $50/month.

I am seriously thinking of switching right now, as I have RCN cable TV, so installation would be a snap.

So does anyone know if RCN cable internet is reliable? Is the actual speed comparable to their advertised? - (my friend who has cable internet from Time Warner gets exactly the advertised speeds).

Thanks in advance.

 

I would say give it a shot. I have Adelphia and I say that it is on point. Don't knock until you try it. Plus, the price is right,

 

Plus if they are like other cable companys your pay less for the cable internet if you also have the cable TV from them. Like $10.00 less

 

You are correct. Your monthly payment for Interent may be even lower than 10 dollards less. Plus, the speed is better with Cable.
