**************Update April 1,2008 **************
The All The Best package that is installed works great.
Everything works as described, except the Caller ID on TV service that is currently being worked on. During a call to Time Warner Cable, because of a question about the bill, they found a promotion for free DVR service for a year.
(Not bad, it saved about $10 per month 
The price breakdown of the service as follows:
Digital Access $39.99
HSI $45.99
Digital Phone: $39.99
DVR Service: $0.00
Taxes+fees = ~ $10
**************Update November 19,2007 **************
Just an update, the service was raised to 7 Meg / 512k for free a few months ago. The service does work as advertised; seeing 90%+ of rated speed.
**************Update May 16,2007 **************
The cable internet service has worked quite well so far, with very few outages.
The service was also upgraded to the 5 meg / 384 k as well.
Speedtests reveal that I'm easily getting 90% + of the bandwith.
************** Update November 11,2006 **************
After the inital setup, four additional cable outlets were installed.
Below is the modem signal levels before TWC was called out for a DVR upgrade swap..
Downstream Status Operational
Channel ID 1
Downstream Frequency 711000000 Hz
Modulation 256QAM
Bit Rate 800768 bits/sec
Power Level -13.8 dBmV
Signal to Noise Ratio 34.1 dB
Upstream Channel
Upstream Status Operational
Channel ID 1
Upstream Frequency 33000000 Hz
Modulation 16QAM
Bit Rate 384000 bits/sec
Power Level 50.5 dBmV
The service worked at that point but the picture was getting grainy.
The cable tech went ahead and consolitated all the splitters, and installed a cable amp to improve the picture.
After the tech:
Downstream Status Operational
Channel ID 1
Downstream Frequency 711000000 Hz
Modulation 256QAM
Bit Rate 800768 bits/sec
Power Level 0.8 dBmV
Signal to Noise Ratio 34.1 dB
Upstream Channel
Upstream Status Operational
Channel ID 1
Upstream Frequency 33000000 Hz

************************************* Original review *************************************
During the third week of Auguest, 2006 Time Warner Cable was called to setup an appointment to hookup service
[TV, Phone, Internet].
The technician arrived early for the appointment and went out and hooked the service up at the pole. Then the digital cable [using a Pioneer cable box] and a Scientfic Atlanta DPX2203 MTA [Phone /Modem] was installed. The phone was hooked up the phone jack and the modem was hooked up to a computer.
After hooking it up to the computer, it was determined that the modem was not provisioned for service - a call to the Time Warner Cable back office took care of that and it was online. The service level setup was RR Lite [ 768/ 384 kbps] in this area.
During the week and a half since the install the service has been reliable.
