A Quick Look At How The Services Came To Be

The ISP was incepted in the year 1995 and the founders of this entity employed the character from the Looney Tunes carton series as their mascot and official brand name. Currently, the ISP provider goes by the name Time Warner Cable Internet after the Road Runner branding was dropped in 2012. The ISP provider offers internet services over DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Internet Specification) compatible modems.  The ISP provider completed a roll out earlier this year and the bouquet of services that they offer can basically be divided into 5 basic groups – the lowest streaming speed that they offer is 3Mbits/s ( the basic offer) whilst the highest package that they offer is the Ultimate offer that stands at 50 Mbits/s .

The ISP provider has a number with regard to matters regarding technology, a fine example of this is the power boost option that allowed for experience faster download speeds at certain intervals of time. This technology that was released in the year 2008 was initially limited to subscribers of the Turbo option, but this offer was extended to other subscribers.  The sole controversy that this firm has had with its clients is an attempt to lower the cap on bandwidth. The offer of unlimited offers was to be scrapped, caps would be set at between 5GB to 100GB, and any client who went above their allocation would be charged $ 1 for every gigabyte that was used.  Due to customer protests however this is an idea that has temporarily being put on the back burner.

Subscribers to this ISP provider have the option of renting a modem from the vendor for a fee of $ 4 a month; alternatively, subscribers can also buy their own approved modems but there is one catch- the vendor will not be involved in matters relating to service as well as troubleshooting on that particular modem.
