Time Warner wireless Internet products and services:
Road Runner® Extreme:
This broadband service includes wireless home networking (other bundles require an upgrade to add a Wi-Fi home network) with download speeds up to 30 Mbps and upload speeds up to 5Mbps.
Mobile Internet:
Time Warner has two wireless internet plans, National Elite and National Choice. The National Elite plan offers unlimited nationwide mobile data and Internet access on 4G and 3G national networks. The National Choice plan uses the same networks but has a data cap of 250MB. If you have a laptop with built-in 4G WiMAX capabilities you can sign up for a data plan to use Time Warner’s mobile Internet service.
Wireless Access Devices:
To access Time Warner’s mobile Internet service, you’ll need a mobile broadband device. These devices include a USB-powered dongle that plugs in to any laptop or netbook, and/or a personal mobile hotspot that broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal securely to any Wi-Fi device in the area. Both devices come either free or at a discounted price when bundled with a two year service contract. Laptops with built-in 4G WiMAX capabilities are compatible with Time Warner’s service as well.
More about Time Warner Wireless Internet:
Time Warner cable is available in 28 states, so their wireless Internet availability may not be as abundant as other nationwide wireless Internet service providers. The places that Time Warner is available, however, have strong 3G coverage, and most large cities have strong 4G coverage as well. Remember to do your research before choosing a wireless internet provider; some services might not be available in your location, while others might require contracts and bundles, and for some there might not be an option at all (Time Warner is the exclusive cable and internet provider in several areas).
