Anyone using Road Runner Premium?

[Isocene]

Im about to move to Austin and Im debating whether to get regular road runner or the road runner premium. The premium is like twice the price at 89 bucks compared to 45.

4mps versus 8mps.

I do download a bit esp when away from computer.

Will I see a big difference? Anyone using these kinds of speeds and see a big benefit?

IMO, no

just let the porn to download at 4mbps, the period of anxiety when anticipating is great

That is pretty true..

I had it for a shortwhile in the 3 months my roommate worked for Time Warner. The only time I was able to peg it was on the newsgroups, and it was pretty sweet. Other than that though it made absolutely no difference.

Dont bother..I get close to 5mbps with regular. No reason to spend the extra IMO.

I get 6mbps with my Time Warner cable in Austin....

Well IMO Comcast + $10 upgrade is definately more worth it than that, what upload do you get for that speed? Business DSL would probably be a better choice for the $90-100/month range.
