Re: I'd be surprised to see them file bankruptcy

Lets see... the past 10 years (except probably just after 911) has been decent on the economy as a whole.
The past year (and forecast to the end of next year), will be pretty bad.

Almost all companies are taking a hit. Those that are (or were already) deep in debt will most likely file.
I don't see much 'growth' in TV or Phone service, and many that are keeping their service, will likely scale back (i.e. why do I need a 20Mbps Internet package? I can save +$15/month by using a 6Mbps or less).
Cut phone service and go wireless.
TV - OTA should work, or cut back to a lower tier.

I gave TWC their chance - the $89.99/month isn't bad - however, I've had more outages (at least on significant/month) on cable, interrupting Internet, and in some cases, Phone and TV as well.

Next year - when the rate increases hit - its OTA all the way, cellular + Skype for phone, and a toss between DSL or cable for Internet (DSL is more reliable here).
