Road Runner Business Class Vs. Residential

Which of these services (Milwaukee Wisconsin) would be faster? Is there any differences between the two besides its speed? Thanks

Business.

How so? How much? My job is offering a discount for business class if we use it. Then discount would make it cheaper than residential since im an employee

i'd assume you'd get a static IP as well

 

[cjgallen]

Around here business is 8 megabit (maybe more since they did a speed increase on residential). If it's cheaper with the discount, I'd go for it.

 

[Coldkilla]

Which would do what? Im sorry, im not as good with internet/networking as I'd like to be

8mbit? What bit is residential?

There are different business plans, most will get you a static IP and higher UL speed. DL speed varies. At least, that's with RR via TWCNYC here.

Faster speeds + Static IP + discount + better customer service = Business Class FTW

Res is 4-5 megabit I think.

its funny...my company has cox business class...at home residential runs FASTER

It depends on the business plan (at least here). They range from 1-8mbps down. I doubt they'd be offering the enterprise (8/1) plan to employees for less than residential, but if so, GOGOGO!!!

I'd have to ask my job which type of business plans they have.
