The story is about the lawsuit. Why let fanboyism get in the way of common sense? |

But the question is, was it really vandalism, or was it like with most other utilities, they were either digging and had not had the area marked, or were the markings in the wrong place. Utilities get dug up all the time. But that doesn't mean it is vandalism. |

That is what the court will decide, if it's not settled ahead of time. |

| oh my.....
well sounds kinda drawn out to me. I personally have services from both DSL from ATT and RR from TWC and when we had the line originally removed a year ago when we got digital phone all they did was cut the line coming from the NID re-splice it and hook it into their own box. 2 months later they came back out and ran a new line for my dry dsl and i was up and running so i have a more stable line for VPN.
and well since i live in SATX this will be a fun one to watch and see whats really going on. |

Just sue your competition so the consumer gets no choice and has to use your product/service at your price or do without.

| Ahhh Time Warner is just finally realizing their screwing of customers for years has finally put them close to out of business.
We have all heard the ads from TWC where they say "try are all the best package with internet speeds 10X faster than DSL." Now TWC offers their all the best package that comes with 768 internet, thats 4X faster than DSL! DSL's slowest speed is 768.
Only one more month that we are stuck with TWC |

said by BK3 :Just sue your competition so the consumer gets no choice and has to use your product/service at your price or do without. And then impose ridiculously low (40GB) usage caps when the consumer has no other choice. Though AT&T is also going to implement caps - theirs are much more generous.

Dayton, OH | NID access
Not directly related to the suit but... I have wondered about the legality of ATT going into TW NIDs to use pre-existing coax. Sure the coax going into the house is probably now the home owners. But those NIDs are still property of TW right? |

No difference as Time Warner goes into ATT NIDS to reuse inside wiring ATT installed. |

Don't they have to disconnect the premises from the telco loop when they do that? Doesn't disconnection of the premises from the telco loop mean physically accessing the telco MPOE (whether station protector, or NID) to cut the connection?

I've worked at Uverse's tier 2 support and ATT does not use TWC's cable and neither does TWC. It's against the law for ATT to use TWC's lines and they don't have permission to. ATT has been known for doing these types of things on purpose. Trust me as they are by far the worst company I have ever worked for and they are very untrustworthly..... |
