 "The typical Time Warner price creep that outpast inflation."
 "Competitive for what you get, but still the cable company."

I was paying $39.99 when I first had the service installed back in June of 1999. The current price is $44.99 plus every tax imagined, which is what I should expect out of Time Warner. The service has been reliable since I've had it even with the expansion of service, and addition of new users. I've done the math on moving to others, but this still comes back as the best buy for the bandwidth.
Details of the initial installation are fuzzy, since I've had it for so long. I do recall them sending out a separate crew after installation to run a new line through my back yard because my signal strength was weak. A crew showed up 2 days later, but I stopped that as they were backing off the giant ditch witch to rip up my entire back yard. With a little boost of the signal at the pole I have been fine.

Since my last review I've moved from Huntersville, NC to Davidson, NC which is just a couple towns away (approx.10 miles). I decided to remain with High Speed Internet so I did sign up again with Time Warner. The reality is that it's kind-of-Time Warner....
The area I moved was formerly Adelphia and the sale of it has been held up in the court system because my town want to buy it and so does Time Warner. Appears there was a clause in the Adelphia contract about the town’s ability to have the right of last refusal if they left. This has caused a big political storm, and it’s caused Time Warner who is the interim provider to be a lame duck.
The price is lower where I'm at as part of a package I'm paying $29.95, but I'm getting reduced service with that reduced price.....
I have had a number of intermittent issues with packet loss that I’ve been able to document. The past years I’ve not needed much support from them but when I have in my new location, what a horrible experience. This has been one of the largest driving forces behind the town wanting to take over the service and since moving into this new location I fully support it!
Our local officials just passed the purchase of the system, and I will be saying goodbye to Time Warner at the beginning of 2008. Hello to M-I Connections »www.mi-connection.com/
