Does Anyone Use RCN Cable/Internet???

So I am really really really done with Time Warner. They cost an arm and a leg, I have no internet and they told me I have to wait two weeks for them to come, and still pay for internet on my bill!!! WTF!!!!!!!!

So I am thinking of switching to RCN. It's cheaper and I know they cover service here in Astoria. It's way cheaper and you get more!!! Does anyone use it? I want to know if it's worth the switch or should I just stick with Time Warner

Have RCN since day one in astoria. unless you go with the super premium channel package, you'll lose a few channels, but will pay quite a bit less. I now have a dvr and a faster connection than i did with TW and pay about 20 dollars less. I must also say that I've never had any signal outages or lost my internet connection with RCN.

bottom line-DO IT; ▶ Reply to This

Also, they have Saturdays and better hours on week days than TW.

Good luck!; ▶ Reply to This

I've had only their internet service since I moved and have been pretty happy with it. They also have a walk in place you can pay your bill right off Northern Blvd. next to the Michaels arts and crafts plaza.; ▶ Reply to This
