    Ever thought of switching over to Verizon Fios? I pay $144/mo for 75/35 fiber, 200+ cable channels, and phone service. It might be a bit cheaper for you as we added a dvr and a couple of other things. Net speed for me personally is a bit faster pushing 85/40, but my desktop's right on the Verizon supplied wireless router. They also had to come in and set up the fiber-optic converter in the basement(they could've wired it upstairs but the installer thought it was best to put it there as the Time Warner hole is already there and didn't see the need to drill any un-necessary holes, yet I ended up drilling a hole for the phone cord).



    Currently we have my computer, my wife's laptop(that became a desktop; long story), my step-brother's desktop, and two Xbox 360s running almost all the time and have had no problems with the net. I've stressed the connection as much as I could and it took it all. asking for more. Even before moving to TN we had Fios 50/25 and was able to handle whatever we threw at it and then some so the service is reliable. The stb/dvr's always updating itself and even if you don't have a smart TV, Fios has widgets that makes the service act like a smart TV. When I first moved in here in 2010 we'd have my computer and my wife's laptop hooked up and one of us would loose net. If I lost net, my wife had it and when I got net back, she'd loose it. It was time to change. Time Warner use to service this area of Galeville but doesn't anymore because they lost it to Verizon.

    Wow that was more then I wanted to explain(it was simple in my mind)
