Re: wow  TW customers would rejoice if Comcast acquired TW, particularly if Comcast raised TW Customers CAP to 250GB. You will know when it happens because you will see TW Broadband Customers dancing in the streets. |

(the Entertainment co., their partner in TV Everywhere).

Uh, actually TWC doesn't cap anywhere at this point.
Also, TWC connections here are faster than Comcast connections in areas that haven't upgraded to DOCSIS 3. And cheaper; I can get 15/2 for $50 here. On Comcast that same tier would be $65-$75 IF Blast was available in my area, which it isn't. |

I agree with you. I do miss Comcast (price/service). |

Only a few select areas have 15/2 service, a few more have 10/1, and then the remaining large percentage still has 7/384. |

kudos:2 | I'm talking about 15/2 as the "Turbo" service. I thought that all areas were upgraded to 10 Mbps down and 512+ kbps up for Turbo at this point. |

You will know when it happens because you will see TW Broadband Customers dancing in the streets. No, I would not rejoice being acquired by Comcast. Time Warner's lack of caps are far superior to Comcast's ridiculous 250 GB caps and throttled service. |

| Yeah, here we're in the same billing district (so to speak) as Austin (email addresses are @austin.rr.com). As a result, TWC's tiers are priced to compete with U-Verse and Grande Communications, so the $39.99 I'm talking about is without TV. Pretty nice actually, as long as you can get service and as long as TWC keeps the caps away. |

I've been wishing for Comcast back ever since they swapped my area for Houston with TWC.

| said by sivran:I've been wishing for Comcast back ever since they swapped my area for Houston with TWC. Ditto. Comcast was a little more expensive, but they're a much more forward thinking company. Time Warner seems to wait until their hand is forced by the competition to do anything, and when they do, it's pretty half-assed. Internet speeds vary by zip code in the LA area. Areas without U-verse or FIOS tend to get slower speeds. Pathetic. At least they're pioneering consumption based billing.
