Charter wants to buy TWC

[Mr. Scot]

Hasn't the FCC and the gov't basically deregulated the entire industry to the point they can about do whatever they want and, much like mob families, have agreed to divide the pie so there's enough to keep everyone happy?

 

 

I know when I was in Ohio (about a half hour outside Columbus) that was the only time I remember having two cable companies to choose from in the same area.

 

There was a small company called WOW that competed with Time Warner.

Was Allen the former owner?  I could swear I remember him being the guy.

 

Yes, allen sold out to liberty

This would be a disaster!

it'll be pretty interesting to watch a shittier company buying a less shitty company.  Enjoy folks.

I recently switched from Direct TV to TWC.  There is not a lot of difference so far regarding TV, except that TWC doesn't go out during a thunderstorm.  But the entire package of internet/phone/tv cost the same as I was paying for Directv alone. And TWC internet service is light years better than anything else available in my area. 

 

As far as customer service, I rarely call it, but the one time I did, they were fairly good.

Charter is terrible. Almost as bad as Comcast. Hope this doesn't happen.

I loved Comcast when I had it. Internet speeds were several times faster than what we get in Charlotte with TWC. Back when I used to download pirated movies, it made a huge difference. (I don't do that anymore). With TWC, I've had buffering screens on netflix. Now I've just cut cable all together.

If the deal does go through, you'll likely have the same ignorant crews who work for TWC still working.

TWC just laid off about 100 customer service representatives for providing bad customer service so if u call now they should be super nice to u.

This goes for me as well ... Except I had Dish with that crappy poo from windstream!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!

Anyways, pleasant experience so far and got a whole lot more for a lot less.. So far at least! ;)
