Re: Road Runner branding said by Authority  I have to agree... amazingly dysfunctional in so many ways. They're behind the technology curve in rolling out network upgrades like DOCSIS 3.0, their speeds are the lowest, their bandwidth caps are the lowest, their pricing is the highest, their service is the worst according to JD Powers. They're not doing one thing wrong, they're doing almost everything wrong.

2 edits | Are you still trolling here? Really?
Search "Time Warner" on Twitter... they don't have three full time PR people working Twitter because they're doing well. Or ask their CEO?

By the way I had a lot of facts in my post! The ONLY major provider to not have DOCSIS 3.0 implemented. The lowest caps 40gb. The lowest speed tiers of major providers. The lowest rating in JD Powers of all national cable companies (just like Adelphia had). What more facts you want? | | |

1 edit | Yes I am still here, someone needs to point out the utter baloney you post!
A presence on Twitter hardly means that a company is in the toilet, many would feel that its actually a positive move.
The economy is indeed taking some chunks out of many businesses, when houses are being repossessed in their thousands its clear that cable would suffer.
Docsis 3 ....ok. Comcast actually are the only company with any 3 presence other providers are playing around with it
Caps? Oh you mean the small trial in a little town in Texas, I remember that.
Speeds? Yeah this looks horrible?
Lowest rating?

4 edits | i have to admit pwning you is a guilty pleasure because it's so easy.
said by hobgoblin:A presence on Twitter hardly means that a company is in the toilet, many would feel that its actually a positive move. As is often the case, you fail to follow directions. I said SEARCH "Time Warner" on Twitter:
»search.twitter.com/search?q=time···er+cable
You will see gazillions of unhappy customers, MORE than other carriers (I counted).
said by hobgoblin:Docsis 3 ....ok. Comcast actually are the only company with any 3 presence other providers are playing around with it Wrong again, Charter, Cox, and RCN, are all on rolling it out already while "Time Warner Cable has yet to solidify their DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade plans"...

said by hobgoblin:Caps? Oh you mean the small trial in a little town in Texas, I remember that. Yes, the trial they're rolling out nation wide... don't you read the news? Note they're the LOWEST caps of all major providers.

said by hobgoblin:Speeds? Yeah this looks horrible? It DOES look horrible. The fastest tier from Comcast is 4X faster than the fastest tier from Time Warner. That's horrible to me, and shows they're just not keeping up.
Yup! According to DSLR anyway as of 2/09:
»FiOSTV Tops In Satisfaction Survey
Indeed... subs dropping faster than peers (fact), behind peers in implementing new technology (fact), lowest customer satisfaction (fact), you tell me what they're doing RIGHT? | |

said by Authority:Charter, Cox, and RCN, are all on rolling it out already while "Time Warner Cable has yet to solidify their DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade plans"... TWC hasn't announced their D3 plans, but meanwhile TWC has rolled out 100 mbps symmetric residential service in an area and is exploring residential fiber to the home for future services:
»/speak/slidesh···SXNsYW5k
»www.lightreading.com/document.as···d=171718
Can you show us the part where it's NATIONWIDE? Name the cities outside of Beaumont, TX at least.
Psst... TWC announced they were changing the limits and prices on the caps according to your own link.
BTW, AT&T has caps too and they're not much higher than what TWC did in the Beaumont trial:
»More Specifics On AT&T's Cap Plans
Even their latest, cutting edge product Uverse has caps.
said by Authority:The fastest tier from Comcast is 4X faster than the fastest tier from Time Warner. That's horrible to me, and shows they're just not keeping up. Yet you're on a 6 mbps service from AT&T... You say it's so horrible that TWCs speeds are so "slow", yet you're paying for slower. Who's not keeping up again?
Actually your link is from a paid research firm, who mentioned TWC last in their short summary trying to get people to buy the whole report. It surveyed 842 people.
Both ongoing ratings and as of TODAY Roadrunner outranks many of the other cable ISPs actually here on DSLR, higher than Cox, Comcast, Brensan, Charter, RCN, and many others:
»www2.dslreports.com/gbu
DSLR rankings have more people participating too.
said by Authority:Indeed... subs dropping faster than peers (fact), Wrong, again according to one of your own links. Comcast lost half a million vs TWCs 119 thousand basic video subscriber losses.
BTW, if you look at TWCs quarterly report 78 thousand of those 119 lost were actually sold off to another company. Meanwhile TWC also GAINED 44 thousand digital video subscribers, 124 thousand high speed internet subscribers and 130 thousand phone subscribers. So overall TWC gained customers last quarter.
»ir.timewarnercable.com/common/do···ease.pdfsaid by Authority: behind peers in implementing new technology (fact), Wrong. Fiber to the home, SDV, tru2way, CallerID on TV, StartOver, Clearwire partnership, etc.
The FCC actually fined TWC for pushing ahead too fast on some of the technology being rolled out.

said by Authority: lowest customer satisfaction (fact), Wrong. Check DSLRs Good, Bad, Ugly page. said by Authority:you tell me what they're doing RIGHT? Faster speeds than AT&T. | |
