What???? their engineers did not considered a network assessment before deploying new services or changing over the Adelphia system to TW.
TW ... well we have some cables here, a router there, some boxes here... that should be enough... |

Valencia, CA | I suspect that their 'due diligence' was more of the financial aspect.... We can pay $$ and take over 99% of Los Angeles market good deal for TW. |

said by chemaupr  :What???? their engineers did not considered a network assessment before deploying new services or changing over the Adelphia system to TW. ..because in the way this system changed hands, and the bankruptcy involved, they were not allowed access to anything Adelphia prior to the take over. This wasn't a purchase.. it was a bankruptcy take over and the rules are different.
Still, while this is nice sound bite bickering and bantering, there's more to the story that's below the surface. Yes, ... maybe adelphia was working with in it's shoddy structure, and anyone that knew anything about the infrastructure in L.A. knew that the Adel system was old and out dated... maybe when TWC tried to connect it to THEIR systems is when the shit hit the fan.
It's easy to arm chair quarterback, but it's a different beast when you are on the field yourself.
Instead of jumping in with both feet on a sound bite or single headline, you'd look better if you saw the grander picture.
Other than the name changing, and rerouting the inet and phone, not much else changed.

| also Adelphia may have had the signal levels cranked up real high to compensate for bad wiring. When time warner stepped in they may have lowered the levels to normal specs causing issues. Same thing happened to a few CT/MA area's held by adelphia when comcast took over. |

Long Beach, CA | A network assessment is a great idea but FCC rules and regulations as well as the FTC keeps telecommunications companies from having direct access to one anothers infrastructure. Levels the playing field. |
