Nitrousbird Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Unless the place has an exclusive contract with Warner, you should get WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishiwascool Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ive been pretty happy with my TW/RR setup over the last 3 years. I now get basic HDTV/DVR (no premiums) + RR for about 100/mo. The general vibe is that WOW is better, but how is it on cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I just went to Insight today and picked up the self install pack (free if your already a TW customer) instead of waiting/making an apointment and did it myself. Even my noob ass got it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general vibe is that WOW is better, but how is it on cost? I don't have my price sheet with me, but for about the same cost, you could get our 4Mbps Internet service, HD DVR w/ the standard HD pack, digital pack, and an additional analog box. Unlike Time Warner, we include the digital Starz/Encore package free with our digital service, which makes it far more valuable than Warners/Insight's digital packages are, for the same money (BTW, I get all the premium channels free, and I watch Starz/Encore more than any of them).

It won't happen most likely. We'll build in the area as far as new developments go, but to expand beyond that is way too expensive. WOW bought out the Americas system, which was a failing overbuilder. Most overbuilders do fail in the cable industry. WOW has been the exception, not the rule. Building plant is an insanely expensive process, and to be an overbuilder (meaning building where there is a competitive cable company in the area) requires a large market. Hence why we are in Columbus and Cleveland, but not smaller areas. We are ranked #1 in the nation this year for customer satisfaction by JD Power for television providers. Last year, we were #1 in cable but beat out by the Dish Network/Direct TV....this year we beat them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hey Joe, when did WOW knock down the upload speeds? 768k sucks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 We have never knocked it down. The upload has always only been guaranteed for 512k on the 6Mbps package. Pretty much all providers are like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwishiwascool Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Im signing up in a few minutes, What packages are the best deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 The best deal going is basic phone + 4MBps internet + Digital Cable w/ DVR. That will get you the most bang for your buck service wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
