Ask HN: any ideas on how to deal with lousy Time Warner Cable service in NYC?
Time Warner is the only option in my building. The internet is slow, flaky, and my partner and I can barely do low load things like ssh into servers and web browse simultaneously. Threads like this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5276772 and their twitter feed leads me to believe that I am not alone. Does anyone in NYC know how to fix this so I can get some work done at home? (Calling their customer service hasn't been helpful).
- Throwadev 14y agoTry getting DOCSIS 3.0 (50Mbps down/5Mbps up) if it's available in your area. That's what I have both at work and at home, in NYC, and it's great. The service rarely ever has outages, and speed is very good. I am using Time Warner as well.
- boise 14y agoThanks! What cable modem did TWC give you? I've got an UBEE DDW3612 that's DOCSIS 3.0, but its still pretty slow at times.
