Re: Most profitable quarter ever... what?! said by espaeth:Wow. They're making just over 7 cents of profit for every dollar they take in. Yeah, that's just runaway profit right there. </sarcasm> Did you forget what site you are on? The mindset here is a company is only allowed to make so much money.
Honestly, I think DSLR makes to much $$$. I propose all the advertising that is displayed for guests and some members should be limited to being shown only for 20 days out of the month and that there should be a cap on how many users can upgrade to premium...capped at 100 per month.

What's even more ironic is the fact many people will complain about a company like Time Warner making a low 7% yet they'll post from their Apple Macbook Pro which rakes in about 20% profit or nearly three times as much as Time Warner. |

| well at least the Apple/Mac line of stuff is of Quality and not crap like Time Warner gives out, i recall paying them over $100/mo for a year for cable and internet, and my service going out several times a week (i had quad rg-6 throughout the house so it was not my wiring) and fuzzy/missing channels, roadrunner dropouts, etc...
so when you recieve the quality of service that you do from someone like Time Warner, then yeah, you will complain about the profit being made. |

What? So now its our fault they are trying support one more system than they need? Lets face it. The Systems they use to deliver Television is Obsolete and should have already been in the process of transitioning to internet delivery. For all I care they could still charge for both but using a percentage of profits from both to upgrade and maintain one network. |

Time Warner is nothing but quality. Blazing fast internet, crystal clear calling and one of the most innovative MSOs around when it comes to HD deployment. All with rock solid reliability. After over seven years with satellite (overrated crap) and a life time of dial up, got Road Runner in 2004, Digital Cable in 2006 and Digital Phone this past April. Very few times have I ever needed service, and the few times I did it wasn't their fault and they were out here to fix it promptly. Anywhere from being out here within 2 hours to next day service. Can't really complain.
Super fast internet with no slowdowns, great calling features, one of the best HD channel line ups around, I love it! TV and internet are my life, I feel like I should be paying much more than the $300/month I currently pay for cable services, for the quality I get I should be paying $400 maybe even $500 a month. I'm glad to see they're making a profit. Not sure why people on this site can't grasp the concept that businesses are not charity cases, they should be setting record profits every quarter.
Apple on the otherhand. Yeah they're 'quality' alright. Let's make a cell phone that can't make calls when you hold it.  Evo > iPhone. Android > iOS. 'Nuff said. 1 iPhone and 2 iPods are plenty for one lifetime, I'll never own another Crapple product again as long as I live.

exactly, it was the late-70's coax main line they have ran through a majority of my city that they refuse to upgrade to actually provide usable service.. that was my point.
And yes, if i was using old RG59 wiring, then yes i could see my signal issues as it has issues in most things this day and age. |

obviously it's not "nuff said" as that saying is always used when there's always more to say on the issue.
the main issue with the "phone" is at&ts garbage network, low and behold when i pop a T-Mobile SIM into an iPhone, all of the signal problems magically disappear and my phone works flawlessly... coincidence i think not.
And im glad you are one of the few people that think TWC is reliable, i've had them in LA, OH (Columbus), NYC, and a few other places, and their service is way over rated IMO (still not as bad as Cox, but that's a different story). Everyone i know has had some sort of billing horror story with TWC that i know, including myself. Now my Dish Network bill has never been over $60 for cable in three rooms with HD and DVR, and my TWC bill was ~80 for the same thing, and when i was missing channels and such (in all but one market i used TWC i had these issues, at least Cox i got all of my channels clear as could be) and my RR service was going out every few weeks or so for a few hours, DSL has proven to be a much more reliable system for me, and with a 40Mbps down/5Mbps up, TWC could not even touch that with a 10 foot pole if they wanted too. |
