Is Time Warner short on bandwidth? March 30, 2007
We’re having quite a storm here in Central Texas today and on days like this I become a Doppler radar junkie. (I check it approximately every 11 minutes or so.) I like to use www.news8austin.com because they show radar by county and I can pinpoint exactly where the purple areas are in relation to my city. Perfect! However, whenever we have a bad storm day, the News 8 Austin site bogs down to a crawl. It can take as long as 3 minutes for a page to load.
Now here’s the kicker. News 8 Austin is a service of Time Warner Cable. Isn’t there something slightly ironic about that? Shouldn’t they have bandwidth to spare? Rather mind-boggling, isn’t it?
