I realize this is a learning process, but the lack of an actual back button on these remotes is kinda lame. Someones they provide one for you, but often they don't.
I'm also getting "HBOx is currently unavailable. Please try again later" for all my premiums the last couple days." Never got anything like that with AT&T

So I'm moving to a new address. I need to drastically change my TWC package... trying to decide what the best way to do it is. Call to cancel the service and actually cancel it? Then when you get the retainer call the next day, get a better deal and switch to new address? Say fuck it and try UVERSE? 6/12/2015 11:02:53 AM |

On your modem yes. Tis required for 100/300mb download speeds. 6/18/2015 10:52:31 PM |

So that's pretty much asking if anyone's TWC broadband speeds have been bumped up yet?

Comcast != TWC.
Comcast is doing some interesting Docsis 3.1 stuff which can hit gig+ speeds.
TWC is mearly doing Docsis 3.0. Top speed they are putting out is 300mb. Thats whats going on in RDU area right now. Its not live yet, they are still doing pre-work, but expect it to come out later this summer. 6/22/2015 4:36:01 PM |

Is it just me or is TWC's TV/Guide interface slow as fuck? 8/24/2015 11:51:53 PM |

Just got my biannual TWC price increase-despite no additional services. Furthermore next month the set top boxes they forced me to "rent" are going to start costing money. What is everyone paying? Any tactics? Thanks. 6/12/2016 11:08:49 AM |

I stopped by one of their physical locations a couple weeks ago to swap out a modem and ended up getting some guy who worked there but was fairly new to completely revamp my bill. Saved me like $40/month and got me some extra channels.

Actually there is fiber run along 751. But it would still cost you like 30k to tap into it (commercial account). 7/8/2016 9:39:35 AM |

So Time Warner looked at the box that feeds all the units to my building and there were some jank ass old splitters in there that they swapped out. Put in a new splitter and added like 8 dB to my signal #coolstory 7/21/2016 4:07:12 PM |

A buddy of mine has been using Kodi on his fire stick and it's pretty legit. I just tried it out this weekend.
I think we're going to cut the cord this week. We're going to go with:

News on how TWC packages might go away under Charter. This will suck if they get rid of all the new Maxx packages and levels. Then again in RDU area, between ATT and GF(eventually) TWC/Charter will be the one losing out as customers will go elsewhere. 9/8/2016 11:19:59 PM |

Just had to play this game again, my year long "promotion" expired and my 200 internet price jumped from 49.99 to 69.99. Had to drop down to 100 to get it back to 49.99 with the 2nd person I spoke to, the 1st was useless. Might have to call back and play the cancel service card and see if I can do better. 10/7/2016 9:22:28 AM |
