Why in the hell is TWC so desperate to screw consumers?
First it's bandwidth metering and caps.
Next, it's no DOCSIS 3.0 for areas that fought them over caps.
Next it's lobbying the NC House to crush any potential competition, followed up by lobbying to the NC Senate to do the same.
TWC INVESTORS: Perhaps you should start discussing the need to replace the board, CEO, and upper management at TWC before they piss off so many people the company will completely crumble and your stock will be worthless. . .
Seriously, I don't remember a time when I've seen a single company to do so many things that result in so much bad press in such a short period of time.
Their CEO either has hard-on for a serious raise or internally they're seriously screwed and ready to collapse. I can't think of to much else that explains this kind of desperation.

I can't think of to much else that explains this kind of desperation. Your heart has to ache for TWC's CEO Britt who "only" earned $14.4 last year, which is an 8% decrease from the previous year. And since the Great American Fiscal Meltdown only promises even more misery for anyone who is not a banker and/or a domestic auto manufacturer, realistically speaking, it is more profitable for Britt to run TWC into the ground as he can then safely escape via the built in golden parachute that is no doubt in place.

Valencia, CA | I'm sure that the upper level management has shareholders/bod pressuring them to make more profit or lose their jobs, including the 'measley' $14.4m salary |

Because no incumbent wishes to compete against a superior product and face true competition and scrutiny. See: Comcast v. Verizon in Philly. |

Uh, this company was spun off from the same company that thought AOL was a good partner. What do you expect? |
