Road Runner Turbo customers in south Texas can expect to receive more speed for their money soon.
Time Warner Cable is boosting speeds for Turbo customers in Corpus Christi, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Laredo, the Rio Grande Valley and Uvalde.
“We are very excited to offer this upgrade and time-saving feature to our Road Runner customers,” said Gavino Ramos, vice president of communications for Time Warner Cable South Texas.
Downstream speeds increase from 10 to 15Mbps and upstream speeds are doubled from 1Mbps to 2Mbps.
The price for Turbo service remains unchanged.
Although the exact date for the upgrade is unclear, customers can check if the upgrade is completed in their area by following this company-recommended procedure:
- Unplug the cable modem and wait 60 seconds.
- Plug the cable modem back in. The lights will flash as it reconnects to the network.
- When the modem lights are solid again, restart your computer and experience the new faster speed.
I think most/all of Texas now has 7/512 and 15/2 for standard and Turbo tiers at this point. 50/5 is likely coming soon.
Great – now how about getting any service period in West Texas?
