Oceanic Roadrunner Turbo

Just signed up for digital cable and Roadrunner HSIA at my new place.

I'm lucky because basic cable is provided so I'm only paying $7.20/month more for digital.

I asked if there were any RR specials and the lady mentioned their RR Turbo service.

She said the regular RR = ~5mbps down, but they have a new-ish service called RR Turbo which = ~8mbps down.

RR = $34.95/month
RR Turbo = $34.95 + $9.95 = $44.90/month.

You know what's weird? I'm paying ~$42.95 for my current residence's regular RR.

Anyway, I'll let you all know how the connection is at my new place when I move in.

Anyone else on RR Turbo? Notice a speed increase?

I have roadrunner turbo as well. I do notice a big increase in download speed if the server that I'm downloading from isn't capping their download speed.

Does it slow down during peak hours like regular RR?
Are you on a dedicated line, like DSL or is still shared?

I wish those bastards would increase the upload bandwidth too while they're going to charge you up the butt for it.
