| Re: Insight in Columbus As an Insight customer, I wouldn't be disappointed with that outcome. WOW is one of the highest rated ISP's that exists.
They are one of the few companies that I would be happy with if they purchased the remaining Insight systems. I really don't want a huge player to become my overlord. Moreso, I entirely do not want Suddenlink either.
From a logical standpoint they are in a pretty good position to do it. They already have a presence in Columbus and Evansville (I believe). They also actually have the cash to do it. | |

| Re: Insight in Columbus I'm exactly the opposite, if WOW buys, I'm gone. last year, WOW acquired the other cable company here, and I'm not impressed, they haven't changed a thing. If they buy Insight, my choices will be WOW or WOW, the next town over has TW, I'd be happier if they bought. | |

| Re: Insight in Columbus Sorry to hear that. 
What are you not impressed about?
I know that WOW offers slower speed tiers and their max is 6mbps/1mbps. For me, this is not a large problem. Though I definitely would miss the 10mbps.
Are there problems with the service? Limited programming? Customer service not responsive or helpful enough?
Perhaps I am misguided. | |

| Well, here's some info from the Columbus Dispatch this AM.
Seems there is a pissing contest between the Big Ten TV network and the cable outlets. As it sits today, 80% of the Big Ten viewing audience will NOT get to see their team play football this year. The network wants $1.10 per month for each cable subscriber (that's subscriber, not viewer) and the cable companies, at least TWC, want to include it as a premium offering so that the viewers have to pay extra.
It's going to be an interesting next four weeks in the Midwest.
But to get to the point, the article also disclosed that TWC has "more than two-thirds" of the Franklin County (Columbus are) cable market. | |
