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.
