In general a business line cost twice the amount since businesses can write it off and as well can't justify being a residential customer. The business line is the SAME as residential line. Usually residential area will have reduced bandwidth during business hours or if the server admin is a real lazy ass it is just throttled back all the time so he doesn't have to switch it. In the end declaring yourself as a business may only double your cost without improvement of service especially since you are living in a residential building. A big Fuuuuuuck you brought to you by Time Warner.

You can ask for a more bandwidth package (not more download space), but as residential customer (in some areas you may not be able to get more).

good luck

usually there *is* more difference than just being for businesses. In most cases I've looked at, the contention ratio is very different from business to residential connections.

For the less techy, contention ratio is the maximum number of people using the same internet line at once. Most cases its 24:1, which means if your using a 1MB line your only ever guaranteed a speed of 41.6KBps. businesses usually get a contention ratio of something like 8:1 for the lower end and 1:1 for more expensive stuff like leased line or 'virtual lans'.

This is all dependent upon your location, connection, distance from a telephone exchange, and provider.

The point of matter for dear ole' KATG is that since they are in a residential area they probably will not be able to get the business service they want even if they wanted to pay for it (a least not right now as I can tell). The 'company' would gladly sell 'more' but you would recieve 'less' (relatively speaking).
