Time Warners is the next largest cable operator in the US and is known for providing innovative services in various communications media. Time Warners now provides high speed Time Warner Road Runner Internet service and an IP-based Time Warner phone service. When you choose to connect to Time Warner Internet services, you gain access to their high-speed always-on services.

You will need a Time Warner cable modem to activate your Time Warner Internet connection. The company will furnish their own Time Warner cable modem. You may be considering buying your own unit. While you're free to do that, there's no good reason to do so.

Your cable modem bill will contain only a small share for renting the Time Warner cable modem, but cable modems are expensive. More important, as cable modem technology continues to evolve, Time Warner Internet will replace your unit with the newest model, at no charge to you.

You may be concerned about the actual transfer rate of your Time Warner cable modem. One important factor that affects speed is the number of other cable modem subscribers in your immediate neighborhood or cluster. Everyone whose cable access is connected to the same transformer shares the same channel for cable modems. As a result, the high demand during peak hours could theoretically cause reduced performance.

Nevertheless, Time Warners assures should there be more requests for service that may threaten to clog the allocated bandwidth, the cable operator will add more cable modem channels.

Security may be a more serious concern. The fact that many users share the same access connection could theoretically pose some risk. However, Time Warner cable modems only deliver data to the specific addresses of customers' computers. Even assuming that another customer on the same line could see data sent from other users, it would be difficult to decrypt that data.
