Not sure if Comal county is covered... but you need to live way the F up 281 and such to get this service... I am 2 blocks from the city limit (Evans & Bulverde road) and can't get this.. stuck with TWC.. even if they do docsis 3, I am not upgrading... It is too damn expensive already... and I have no need for the super-duper-docsis3-service... it is not like I run a seedbox... lame 15/2 is good enough...

not only that but they will dub the upgrade Roadrunner Ultra-Turbo, and charge subscribers $120-$150 a month for it.

TWC And ATT won't upgrade their networks UNLESS they face competition, and ONLY in the areas where they face that competition. TWC will upgrade to Docsis 3 in San Antonio, but not 40 miles north in Austin. Lovely. And here’s the rub.
