| Comcast changes to Time Warner Cable customers
Time Warner Cable is switching over to Comcast.
We now know a little more from the company's new customer mailing.
Effective June 19th, payments should be made to "Comcast Houston." Your bill will be a Comcast one by that point.
Comcast officials say cable changes include 20 more channels to the lineup including the NFL Network.
Your service name will change names, but you might be more interested in price reductions that go into effect on June 19th:
Digital Basic will be $44.99 a month.
DVR with Digital Basic will be $9.95 a month.
The Movies Plus Tier for Digital Cable subscribers will no longer be offered for an additional $5 per month; as of June 19th you will no longer be billed for these channels. They will become part of the Digital Preferred service level at no additional charge.
In July, Comcast High-Speed Internet will be up to a 6 Mbps download. You can upgrade to a higher 8Mbps download speed.
The company says you will start seeing these changes to the cable TV service in mid-June. In July, changes will be made to the Internet and phone service. Comcast will mail out more changes on this soon.
Your Road Runner e-mail address will become a Comcast e-mail. The company will send an email to you soon with more information.
