Time warner cable has a monopoly on the south eastern major cities as well as other cities around the country. time warner cable does not care about their customers because they are the only ISP available. That makes them unresponsive and arrogant to the needs of the customer. I vote to ban the monopolizing of any region, service, or product. this isn't the 1920s were companies that offer a service are the sole providers. ISPs should be able to market and provide their services anywhere they seem fit and not be limited by restricted boundaries. maybe then these shitty internet service providers would increase their customer service and quality. Time Warner has a Monopoly on several areas because of legislation that will not allow other ISPs to enter the area. ban the legislation and Impose Government Legislation on Time Warner Cable Company.wh173yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150357031831891515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-48521903279292405612011-07-07T18:43:15.249+03:002011-07-07T18:43:15.249+03:00I agree.

And their constant mantra "We are sorry and we do want to take care of our customers" makes it really annoying.<br />There are a lot of businesses that do care about customers UP to the line THEY draw. That way they feel good about saying that they care. In my opinion Time Warner has drawn the line right at their front door. They will not go any further.<br />All of us unhappy people are going to be looked at by them as irrational and impossible to please.<br />I feel like I am carrying the lantern looking for 1, just 1 good company that really does care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-68779316755280992252011-04-14T00:59:54.142+03:002011-04-14T00:59:54.142+03:00I HATE TIME WARNER CABLE BUSINESS CLASS..

I work for DISH network, also subscribe, and I love it, from the sounds of it, your mom only wants a basic package, DISH has a family package that has like 40 family oriented channels for 24.99. That is the normal price, no promo price, and the Top 120 package is normally 44.99 a month but during the first year you will get 15.00 off per month. The family package isn't available for the promotion unfortunately. Hope this info helps, and if that had been a DISH network response rep, they wouldn't have forwarded it to anyone, they would have taken care of it with you.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489967629180652983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-64073016438524035702011-02-16T20:51:28.445+03:002011-02-16T20:51:28.445+03:00As a former employee of TWC, I can assure you they...As a former employee of TWC, I can assure you they do not care about the customer. I say that as a rash generality, there are reps that do care, they are just few and far between. We were graded on saying the "magic words", not on customer resolution. You have slow internet? Send a tech, even if we knew it was an area that is over utilized. Bad cable signal? Send a tech, even though the lines in the area are 40 years old and need replacing.<br /><br />Until the money is spent in training and infrastructure rebuild, you will always get decent, but consistently mediocre service.

We get ESPN, Fox Sports, NBA, MLB, but NHL network has never come in. Every time I call them about anything I ask "Why can't I get NHL Network?" I get a different answer every time. Apparently, once you order, all they know is that you have such-and-such a package and once they change their packages (which they seem to do weekly) they can't (and this is still mind boggling to me) even TELL YOU WHAT CHANNELS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GET. Now think about that. They have to KNOW what channels you are supposed to get because they show up on your TV. So technologically speaking, there is a node somewhere in the system that knows I am supposed to be getting NHL Network, but their customer service has no ability to bring up a list and verify "Oh, I see you have this channel and that channel". Just package names and premium channels. I don't even want to WATCH NHL Network that often. It just pisses me off that I am supposed to get it and I am not.
