Too be honest this is the only time I have been upset with something @ TW. My internet is great 15x2 with up to 22x4 while downloading or uploading large files.

U-Verse on the other hand is on a copper network (what cable was on in the 80's) and seems to be a step in the wrong direction. FiOS on the other hand is great and is the only other company I would consider outside of cable service.

So in short once again....I just want the damn channel back!

Fios has Nice internet speed from what I experienced at a hotel during work training, I don't know much about it aside from what I have heard.

Install is expensive and requires a multiple year contract.

It is not close to being readily available except certain high population areas.

The Fiber Optic lines run to the house and they put a huge box on the side of the house and use coaxle cables just like the cable companies but you have to have a box on each tv.


I guess it is good to have an additional option because quite frankly that is how you get the best prices for services. I just wish our nation wasn't so far behind now in internet speed. I saw some chart in a magazine that showed soooo many countries at much faster speeds then your average city in the states.

I want my HDNET back now. I was stuck with cable being as I had no line of sight for a dish...that's another story and btw Direct TV is a bunch of crooks. HDNET was such a bonus for having the hd programming to begin with plus their hd looks far superior to other hd channels.
Is there any chance of mma coming on the Smithsonian channel? jk. I am not happy with TWcable right now.

If you're not gonna vote with money and move away from TWC for their decision the you have nobody else but to blame yourselves. The only thing that will change the greedy cable co's mind is the take your money elsewhere. That is the sad truth of the matter.

If you have anything but Time Warner....congratulations. If you have Time Warner, you really need to look at yourselves in the mirror.

I left Time Warner for AT&T U-Verse back in October 2008. Based on all the channels that I have, the quality and the customer service...it's far superior than Time Warner. I left Time Warner since they did not have the NFL Network. Now that they dropped HDNet and HDNet movies combined with their multiple down-time internet service, it just gives me more reasons why I will never go back.

I'm gonna have to look more into this "AT&T U-Verse". Cause Time Warner has pissed me off. And no way I'm getting Dish Network. (Had it for three days and hated it)

I'm more happy with U-Verse after 6 months than I have been with any other television provider (Comcast, Time Warner, Dish).

Only thing that I wouldn't mind having is Versus, but that channel sucks ballls if the WEC isn't on. Bull Riding and bass fishing is way too extreme for my tastes.


I've never had a problem with Time Warner's customer service, internet or their Pay Per Views messing up. I used to have Charter now that shit was awful. the internet was always out and I could never order a ppv broadcast. Everytime I would order one it would never work and then I would have to spend 45 minutes waiting for the Charter customer support who would barely understand English and just say that too many people were trying to buy the PPV and that their system was crashing.

Never had a problem buying a UFC PPV with Time Warner. Although their prices are high their service has been good for the most part.

I have no prob w/ TW service very few issues I've had have always been taken care of quickly.

I want HDNet back though and may have to go to dish because I can get all the HD channels I have now except HDNET movies but also would get some I didn't have for the same price actually slightly less.

That's w/ no SD package added which I don't need cause I'm keeping Road Runner nothing else decent in my area.

Gonna cancel HD tier today and wait a few weeks to see if anything happens then get the dish because my buddy has it and picture is great and he never has any issues w/ the weather.

A few months ago there was a pretty large list of channels TW was going to dump because a few cents a month extra per subscriber which i would of gladly payed.
