TW can't be any worse than Insight in my area. I have always wanted to try their service but have not lived in the part of town that was serviced by them. I guess if this goes through, I will get my chance to see how their service really is.

our twc service where i live i pretty good

The service isn't bad....the question is what will be the pricing after the promo ends????

I agree with tw having good service. But be aware when you come off a promo. I got my bill today and it went up almost $40.00 . the satellite services aren't much cheaper. No competition in area.

 

[mikey329]

just figured out i can save more than i thought.

Call them up and ask to cancel. They will put you back on the promo.

Well if you want the Sabres Games or the Yankees, basically your only other choice is Directv. FIOS has a very small footprint in the area and Dish walked away from New York State Sports completely a few months back.

Don't feel bad, mine went from $115 to $170. They will either put me back on a promo or downgrade me to roadrunner only while I get Directv.

And FiOS will only get you the Sabres in SD.

Have you ever seen hockey in SD on a HDTV......it sucks.

Called TW today. regular rep. Couldn't do anything but had me talk to a pricing specialist who lowered my bill to 115.00. 1'am happy. that is what i would have saved going to direct tv. But she said i would have to do this all over again next year.

I called this morning, and ended up with a pricing specialist whom brought my bill down to $124 with the same programing I had prior (it was scheduled to go to $170 September 1); upgraded my roadrunner to turbo, and gave me whole house dvr (with free install) with a two year price guarantee on Time Warner's part but not mine. Of course I spoke to them about pricing for just plain roadrunner and basic broadcast service first, because if they couldn't do something with my bill, I was gonna pick up directv. I am happy with programing and the pricing they gave me now also.
