Time Warner Cable

Pros: I don't always need rabbit ears
Cons: Bad service

For as long as I can remember anywhere I have lived has had Cable television. I live in the town I grew up in that is in Northeast Houston. Things were always great with our cable service when we had Prime cable and TCI cable. Then Time Warner moved in,...

Pros: DIGTAL
Cons: TO MUCH

Lets talk about the deal with cable tv.. I really don't see nothing wrong with it. But I feel they charge to much for it. It used to be free until some body got greedy.. But we all need tv and with going to pay for it one way or the other. I just...

Pros: None Really
Cons: High monthly fee, must pay for movie channels

When our area first received cable television back in 1989, Time Warner Cable was considered top of the line, primo service. And back in 1989 - 1993 it was. They had top of the line techs and products (remotes, cable boxes) and the like.

...

Pros: Many Channels, Handy Guide and Remote (for Digital), Helpful Techs
Cons: Price, Monopoly

Well, almost everyone has owned our local cable company. First it was Sammons of the early 1980s, then it changed names and it was Empire CableComm. Through this time, we got a few more channels and we had happily rounded out at 40 channels. Then, a...

Pros: Made DIRECT TV more appealing
Cons: Don't sign up

Here's the letter I wrote to the Time Warner Corporation in NY.
Richard D. Parsons
President, Time Warner Cable
75 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10019


Dear Mr. Parsons,

My name is Kevin, and I live in...

Pros: It keeps me happy a quarter of the time I watch.
Cons: The rest of the time it is a drag.

OK, I figure this is my best shot. To write a personal note to whoever has enouh clout at Time Warner to pass it on to whoever dictates what I will and will not see as an enslaved cable customer in Manhattan, NYC, USA.

I am not as put out as I...

Pros: Road Runner
Cons: Everything except above

When we moved to Florida 7 years ago we had premium cable through Time Warner. I was never overly impressed with it, so in 1996 we bought a 18 inch RCA satellite dish. As time passed we bought a multi media computer system and used a local ISP. When...

Pros: Variety of networks
Cons: Small number of channels from which to choose

If you're a person who doesn't vegetate in front of the television, then Time Warner Cable can satisfy your basic cable needs. I live in Livonia, Michigan (which borders Detroit to the southwest), and I have had positive viewing experiences with TWC. I...

Pros: Offers Digital Cable
Cons: Wouldn't honor 30-day money back guarantee

I will never deal with Time Warner Cable again. The company was a pleasant business provider--until I no longer wished to have cable in my home. Here's my story:

In 2/99, I signed up for cable TV through Time Warner Cable (TWC) Milwaukee....

Pros: Great Selection
Cons: Repeat Programming on different channels, cost prohibitive

While Time Warner Cable's selection is vast, one cannot help but notice that there isn't much on television. Many of their channels run the same programming at different times during the day, and many others are simply unnecessary. I believe we have ten...

Pros: A nice clear picture
Cons: Nothing to watch!!!!

I am not sure what Time Warner offers in other areas or what they charge in other areas. I am paying $31.32 a month for nothing. I think that this is totally ridiculous. No movie channels just extended basic service. This does not include the Comedy...

Pros: Great service in the technical aspect
Cons: Can never find anything good on TV

Time Warner Cable (formerly Paragon cable in the Minneapolis/St Paul area) isn't the best cable provider I could hope for, but I've certainly experienced much worse.

Time Warner's service is quite good. Reception is always very clear and...

Pros: Lousy customer service, Frequent Cable Outages, & Frequent Billing Mistakes
Cons: None

As an current and soon to be former Time Warner Cable Subscriber, I will give my impressions of why Time Warner Cable is not recommended by many current and former customers. First, The Customer Service is lousy. I tried for over an week to settle an...

Pros: lots of channels
Cons: Too much money for poor service

Up in Northern, NY State (commonly referred to as the North Country) We have Time Warner for our cable needs. If I had a choice of providers we would definitely not have this one. We pay over $55.00 a month for cable! Yes, we do have HBO and Cinemax,...

Pros: Many channels, pretty good service, outages VERY rare, DIGITAL cable
Cons: A bit pricey, most channels are crap, have to pay $10 extra for HBO

Okay, I'll go against the flow here. I actually LIKE Time Warner. Distrust of big corporations aside, I've never had any major customer service problems with them. I'll tell you this, though: You yell at them or treat them like $hit and you'll get it...
