Hello all --
This may be old news to some, but it certainly came as a surprise to me. Just stumbled upon this link while browsing for broadband connectivity.

TIME WARNER CABLE BROADBAND CUSTOMERS RECEIVE ANOTHER JUMP IN SPEED
Road Runner Enhancements Enable Customers to Take Full Advantage of the Web’s Increasingly Media-Rich Content at No Additional Cost
STAMFORD, CT, December 14, 2004 – Time Warner Cable today announced it will increase the maximum download speed of its high speed Internet service to 5 mega-bits per second (mbps) from 3mbps. Time Warner Cable of New York and New Jersey broadband customers will see the increase in speed beginning today. Customers in the company’s other markets across the country will receive the faster speed in January.
Customers of Road Runner, Time Warner Cable’s flagship high-speed Internet service, and customers using other ISPs via the Time Warner Cable network, will now enjoy even greater value as this speed enhancement is being delivered at no additional cost to consumers. The download speed of Road Runner’s premium level of service is also being enhanced to 8mbps downstream from 6mbps.

First of all, I didn't know there was ANY home connection possible in the 6-8mbps range. So, the premium service offering is a complete surprise to me. Unfortunately out of my price range (somewhere ~$70-99 depending on how much awesome TWC programming you decide to subscribe to).
Still the increase of "regular" Road Runner connections from 3mbps to 5mbps is impressive. Have any of you with RR connections noticed a marked improvement?
Thanks! dave m.
