Currently my home runs off of a T1 line (supposedly) shared by my building, plus we have Time Warner Cable which comes with Internet, which I only currently use for streaming movies to my TV.
This so-called "T1" line is slow as mud - download speeds and upload speeds are OK, but general streaming and webpage loading is pretty bad - like it cannot make it through a YouTube clip a lot of the time. I'm not convinced the TW Internet as-is isn't faster.
I believe my current cable is 10MBPS. Time Warner is offering something now called "wideband" that is 30MBPS for another $20/mo. Does anyone have any experience using that? In particular, what I don't want them doing is throttling my torrents or doing other weird stuff to limit performance. I don't do a ton of torrenting - mostly FTP - but I still don't want to pay the extra $$ unless the Time Warner option is pretty good.
Any experience/thoughts?
[Just to get it out of the way, FIOS and DSL are not really an option for me]
