1 edit | This could get interest
I have never had Time Warner and from what I have heard it's ok. I have family with Comcast that have had fairily good look. I only use Charter Phone and Internet which in my area is better than what either company offers.
TV is where people may see a difference but I have Directv which beats them both in HD.
I think they will end up getting split up. What ever the dominate carry in the state is where they go. In my case it would be Comcast. |

|  Allen could follow Nacchio to prison if $ transfers illegal
This could be bad news for Allen. He could end up being indicted and charged for financial fraud over this.

| Charter Reorg allegations are typical
It is pretty common for there to be allegations of fraudulent transfers (fradulent transfers are those which occur a short time before bankruptcy filing)- really just a negotiating ploy. One would hope that Paul Allen has enough legal counsel to avoid an actual fraudulent transfer. |

When investors end up losing their shirts, they want someone to pay. |

If TWC or Comcast put bids in they'd only pick up the markets that made since to them. So if you didnt live near a Comcast or TWC area you wouldn't get either most likely; you'd be sold to some other company like Southernlink or Windjamer. |

Suddenlink might be halfway decent, but definitely slower. wndjamme, not sure. Probably not good. Just hope nothing goes to JetBroadband.
Also, what will happen to the DOCSIS 3 rollout in St. Louis? Comcast? |

Re: This could get interest
that area is pretty much controlled by TWC and MediaCom. So it would be a toss up. TWC would probably build it out only to compete in that area. I don't see MediaCom picking up the areas.
But maybe if Google was serious about how they think the 'Net should run they would pick up some of the areas and make Google Broadband or what ever. |

Having had problems with Charter, if it gets broken up, I won't be sad. Hopefully the workers will get absorbed into AT&T or whoever buys up the bits.
I do hope, though, if the St. Louis market gets sold, it gets bought by a company that is interested in improving the infrastructure rather than applying broadband caps. Which is the same as saying, no to TW. |

"It also remains possible that this all ends with Charter being chopped up into bite-sized pieces and gobbled up by healthier cable outfits like Comcast and Time Warner Cable."
it's time that Charter goes away permanently. i only hope that they do get chopped up. |

| Yea no shet. I hope they go away for good. I remember when I lived in the Glendale area, their service was absolutely horrible. Just really horrible customer service on top of service that barely is working and they tell you to restart your modem like 5000 times.

Re: a prayer...
Oh yea time warner is waaaaaaaaaay better than when I had charter. The only 1 issue I had with timewarner roadrunner cable was that my cable modem went kaput. They replaced it the next day and I was back to my full speed of 10/1mbps. No complaints at all.
