unfunnyryan Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Last night my parents TWC went down and had an IP change (I have a server in their basement, so I always know when it goes down) IP changed to an IP range I've never seen before from TWC. I'm wondering if this is part of a network upgrade that is long overdue from them, and if increased speeds are on the way. Unfortunately they only have a modem that bonds on 8 channels, so I can't see more than that. If anyone has a SB6190 or other modem that'll bond on 32 downstream channels, I'd love to see how many you're getting. For those curious the IP went from 71.151.x.x to a 24.92.x.x network.

Been a long time 24/8 was set aside by ARIN for Cable Operators, back in the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I am not sure how Charter manages their DHCP scopes. When I was in the RDC we just assigned space as needed to different DHCP Servers. If no upgrades were in an area you would see the same space used for years. They may have chose 24.92 for a reason, or maybe recycled it from an older pool/cmts.....who knows except for them, and tbh it doesn't really matter.

smokin5s Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm supposed to have 50mbit, but I just did a test and was getting 35mbit.... could be because of being conencted to VPN on another machine and wifey streaming... I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ill check when i get home in Delaware. I have TWC 30/5 and 90% of the time I'm getting closer to 50/7. Appears my old IP was a 71.67 address. Ill have to double check when i get home to see if its the same. i got something in the mail the other day from spectrum that did not appear to be an advertisement. Ill read it tonight to see if its important.

spankis Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 My spectrum 60/5 seems to test around 72/7 most days. It actually did go down Saturday night for an hour or two. Not exactly sure how long it was out as I was outside, but I will look tonight to see if my IP changed when it came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Quik7 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 They are also updating their pricing and charging more, mine went up $25/mo. because they no longer offer the TW 30MB internet. Looks like I'm switching providers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 My installer a few months ago said that 50mb customers will be getting 300mb soon. I was guaranteed by someone on the phone we'd have it by the end of 2016, but you know how that goes them being sales people after all.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 My TWC internet bill for 15Mbps went up from $53.xx to $64.xx. I called to see what was up/possibly bitch. The guy got back on the phone and said, how about 60Mbps for $50.xx/month? Sold! Didn't have to bitch even a little bit. speedtest.net shows me in the low 70s.

The advert i got in the mail a few weeks ago was advertising 29.99 for 60mb. $29.99 pricing is only an option if you bundle with phone/cable tv. As an independent service, 60/5 costs $44.99/month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 My wife tried calling Spectrum on our account, as we have the 30mb interest and some basic cable that TWC packaged because it saved $5. They told her that the $45 is for new customers only, that we dont get it anyway because of basic cable, and that there was nothing they could do.

spankis Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Not sure guys. We had an existing TWC account (30/5 internet only), and I called one night about 9:30 to inquire about upgrading with Spectrum to the 60 plan, still internet only. Maybe whoever I talked to was drunk but they gave that price no problem, and no new customer or not discussion. Modem went down once while I was on the call with their rep, came back up and tested at 72/7. Good Luck!

LJ Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I just called myself and they told me to drop to 15/1 and buy my own modem Edit: spoke with someone else. The Spectrum deals and services arent available in all areas yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have time warner turbo it is 20Mbps for $70. I own my own modem and I don't have anything else. Used the live chat today and they told me I could get 60Mbps for $64.99. Thank you for this thread. I have faster internet for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 What kinda speeds you guys seeing on spectrum 60/10? I've did several tests today and it's fluctuating wildly. I've seen everything from 5 to 68 down and 1 to 6 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
