    Cox Promises 1 Gbps Sometime This Year

    Steam, Usenet, BitTorrent, Microsoft, FTP, Google Drive, HTTP filehosters like MEGA, Rapidgator, etc; premium membership porn sites like Brazzers, Naughty America, etc. just to name a few places that can saturate a 150 Mbps connection.

    1 gigabit Internet speeds to Phoenix

    Completely irrelevant as long as they have bandwidth caps. I'd take uncapped 50 Mbps over capped 1,000 Mbps any day.

    Current TV finds a Buyer?

    But the content and quality of the material presented is already top-notch... Since they can't improve that any further they should put their efforts into launching a HD feed. The channel is hard to watch compared to CNN HD, MSNBC HD, NHK World HD, etc. despite its quality journalism because...

    Current TV finds a Buyer?

    Time Warner Cable and Time Warner are two entirely separate companies.

    Current TV finds a Buyer?

    The deniers would always call me conspiracy nut when I suggested that there was a corporate conspiracy in the United States to keep any sort of international perspective outside of the mainstream. The plutocracy WANTS the average American citizen to be kept in the dark and focused solely inward...

    Current TV finds a Buyer?

    What was wrong with Al Jazeera English? How about they launch a HD feed first before they start worrying about launching even more SD? How about buying up the rights to some U.S. sports so they can extort the providers into carrying them? TruTV used this tactic with great success with the NBA...

    I saw FIOS TV for the first time

    It sounds like people who think DVD quality is acceptable are the ones who are blinded. No one with 20/20 vision who's watched a Blu-ray on a proper display is going to think DVD's "quality" is acceptable. And those streaming services, with perhaps the exception of VUDU, are quite pathetic...

    Verizon fios announce new higher internet speeds

    They said that before 20 Mbps was common. And 10 Mbps... If it weren't for people constantly pushing the envelope and upgrading capacity we would all still be on a text and heavily compressed image only Internet and YouTube would have never been invented. You have to look to the future. This...

    I saw FIOS TV for the first time

    The 300 Mbps will be useful for downloading Blu-rays; offsite cloud backup of your entire machine (my machine currently has 20 terabytes of storage making FiOS's speeds a life saver), hosting of numerous game servers without worrying about degraded performance; downloading the entire libraries...

    I saw FIOS TV for the first time

    FiOS's picture quality has a serious placebo effect going on. There are very few channels on the service which truly look great. For most channels they are the same as any other provider. Most things are distributed as MPEG-4 or MPEG-2 at a low enough bitrate that Verizon has to re-encode...

    Verizon fios announce new higher internet speeds

    The cable companies can easily match Verizon's new speed offerings, but they don't have to, since the majority of the public is technologically incompetent and fast speeds are irrelevant to them. Time Warner's current DOCSIS 3.0 modems can bond enough channels for 300+ Mbps down and 100+ Mbps...

    Considering a return to Time Warner

    240 posts on this forum and someone still hasn't learned how to read. I don't give a sh*t what area you live in and how terrible the stock equipment is. The CableCARD tuner solution will work everywhere on any traditional cable provider and it is better than every cable and satellite provider's...

    Considering a return to Time Warner

    The annoyance of dealing with a cable company which clearly has no desire to support an alternative to their expensive DVR box rentals is worth it for the $150+ savings every year for each Time Warner DVR unit eliminated and the vast interface improvement. I never was able to get the Ceton...

    Considering a return to Time Warner

    There is a large amount of misinformation in this thread - such as Dish Network offering more channels than Time Warner - which is flat out untrue. Time Warner Cable offers a better value than DirecTV or DISH Network due to the far larger number of high definition channels they carry...
