I work for Time Warner - as a NE - Thorne can attest to it. I am not biased - In fact in most cases I hate what we (TWC) has to offer our customers as far as pricing is concerned. I think it is over priced, etc.. I also think when you are the largest company in the area - you will obviously have more complaints. TWC - We will launch 30/3 and 50/5 here soon in select areas in Columbus. I would say most people who have an issue with TWC Service - is not because of our IP Transit, it is because of our HFC Plant. While this may or may not lower the price on our current tiers (I would go with not). U-Verse - great if you live close to the DSLAM, but the whole "You get your own line" is crap. You "get your own line" because U-Verse is VDSL, still using Twisted Pair Phone Line, period. Your bandwidth is shared from the DSLAM Northbound. That would be like me saying "You have your own Cable Drop". While I will always say - U-Verse has the best delivery method (all IP). Their choice of using VDSL and Twisted Pair was poor. Had they invested the money they could have really been leading the way everywhere they deployed U-Verse. Insight - TWC Manages their CMTS's as far as IP Connectivity - that is it. Insight manages their own plant, they also schedule their own node breakouts/splits. They also tell us what services to enable/disable and when. WOW - Like Joe mentioned WOW seems to price really high if you don't bundle. I don't agree with this, but every other MSO does the same thing, so I can't blame them. I have used their Internet piece before and it has always seemed to work just fine. My only knock on WOW (same as Insight) was the Advertisements in the On-Screen Guide. I have also heard WOW has a low number of HD Channels (I could be wrong about this). In the end for what you are looking for - Anything at 7Mbps and over will do you just fine. If you are just using it to do streaming Netflix - then you won't need much more than that. I can never think of a time I have pulled more than 3Mbps from Netflix.

It will be 30/3 here in Columbus

so much mis-information in this thread.

Going to a Wine and Chocolate Tasting event, followed by going out to Dinner.

What area of town are you in? TWC is launching 30/3 and 50/5 in Columbus here soon.

Yes you will

There are different sub sets of APBT's, that breeders have bred over the years for specific features/builds/etc... Some people like to have their specific sub-set, and will pay for it.

Any Engineering positions - Network wise?

http://www.phoboslab.org/ztype/ this is pretty fun

HP old shit was garbage, their new stuff isn't bad. Lifetime no questions asked warranty is the best. I have easily put 7-10k rounds through my HP with no jams

I am not saying that is what will happen, that is what should happen. I don't see how the consumer is being overcharged and taken advantage of.... I know how much it costs us to provide RR Service to each subscriber. I don't understand why you think we shouldn't charge what we can for the service. If you don't like the service, or don't want to pay our price there are other options. If you let the Gov't regulate what we can charge for, then expect to see Consumption Based Billing. Sometimes you don't know how good you have until you lose it. With the Gov't stepping into our business, it will be a cluster. Just wait until they want a site shut down for objectionable content, we can't say no now. You as the consumer lose more in Net Neutrality than you think, including your rights

I don't understand why people think a company isn't entitled to charge for installing, running, and maintaining an asset. So your saying, since at TWC we have invested BILLIONS into infrastructure, we shouldn't be entitled to make any more money than what we spent to install and run it? You can't let a central body regulate communications between multiple entities. The Internet isn't some physical thing anyone can control. The only thing Net Neutrality should state, is providers can not influence traffic based on type (protocol or port). That is it, nothing more needs to be said. That puts the blame on the operator, because if the operator doesn't provide the service, the consumer can go elsewhere.

If the Gov't regulates how we as operators are allowed to sell our service, then the next thing they will be controlling is what is acceptable content. An operator has a vested interest in running the last mile connections to every home, it is a HUGE expense. An operator has a vested interest in providing large capacity links, it is a HUGE expense. What we need from Net Neutrality isn't a regulation pricing, use, etc... it can be summed up by saying operators must treat all traffic equally. That is what you want. Gov't involved in Internet Communications, never works well (see Australia, China, etc...)

Most plumbers also do gas line stuff.

just saying, I can get Lower Bowl from a Scalper for 20 bucks. With how they have played the last week, you would be lucky to get anything close to that.

ROFL. Good luck getting anywhere near face value. I have had season tickets for 4 years now. Only once was I able to get close to face value. I usually do buy 1 get 1 free. This isn't a big game though, and a 5 game losing streak = you won't get shit for tickets. I would be surprised if >10k people showed up tonight. Hard to sell your tickets to make some kind of money back, when you can get lower bowl tickets from scalpers for 20 bucks.

Does Hockey Stop bake skates? Anyone know what they charge for doing it?

Over Diagnosing, yes....just like Autism

People aren't allergic to water, they are allergic to the Chemicals Added to water. Drink Well Water, Spring Water, or Reverse Osmosis water, and your "Water Allergy" goes away.

Agreed. Just another pill will come out so the Pharmaceutical companies can rape you. You start eating healthy and you feel better...holy shit!

Dummies buy Gold. Smart people buy Silver.

Wow.....TWC has rolled out those channels some time ago. TWC now has 110 HD channels in the Columbus Market, and will be close to 200 by the end of next year. We just rolled out 5 new HD Channels last week. Literally as soon as we get the Receiver and Encoder, the channel is going live.

+1 except it is me who works for the Cable Company =)
