Looks almost like my old poll. (»[Poll] Your Opinion on the Take Over)

Oh yea. I'm glad you took over Poll posting duty from me.

BTW=== I'm going to Time Warner. But I'd rather if Adelphia stayed put.

I thought it would be interesting to see the numbers of people who are going to each provider from visitors to this forum. While I'm happy with Adelphias service I think it's time to get on with the show, so to speak.
Comcast and TW and others seem to be moving forward with speed increases, voip and triple play while we've been lagging behind somewhat now, probably because of the uncertainty.
I'm a new HDTV subscriber as well and adelphia seems to be lacking there as well and I think comcast will have better packages in the not too distant future. Obviously, because of my BBR namesake i would have preferred going to TW, but..oh well.

Comcast it will be and hopefully it'll be good.

Adelphia started to roll out digital phone, but decided to not put the money into it since the sale was so close. This was last year I beilieve. As far as HD, I have as many, if not one or two more than TW or Comcast offers in many markets. I remember two weeks ago, many of the cable forums here had people complaining that they couldnt see the World Cup in HD because there cable provider didnt carry ESPM HD 2, and over the course of the games, the companies were trying to get there act together to add it into the lineup for its customers. What about Adelphia? ESPN 2 HD is already part of the HD package. The two biggest companies sure couldnt say that. NFL Network HD? I got it, while another companies forum here is wondering why they can not get it added. As much as I don't care for the NFL network and think its a waste, Adelphia seems to give the customers what they want. Speed increases? Blah. Gimme a reliable connection instead that gets the job done.

As long as it works, and prices don't go through the roof, I'll stay when Comcast takes over (for awhile, anyway). But at least I've a Sprint CO near enough just in case. On second thought ...

just a note, I moved from Adelphia to TW last year... no problems to speak of (an issue on our end, but not TWs fault), more services and very nice technical and customer support.

not knocking adelphia, just my two cents.

i guess we'll soon be TW... but i'm pretty happy with adelphia. the prices have been pretty high (and steadily climbing), but we've been almost trouble free since we had it all installed, and the tech who installed everything was a great guy who ran new cable wherever i though i might want it, for free (to me).

contrast that with a recent encounter with cox at another house owned by the extended family, they want $100 for the install and something like $33 per cable run. we'll see how well it works out in a couple weeks time.

in truth, i'll miss the support staff here the most, if they end up evaporating after the name switch. if they stay on in some new capacity i'll be much more comfortable with the new situation...

Re: Goodbye Adelphia Poll

I am looking forward to when TW comes to the WNY area. Read where in the Albany, NY area with the TW All In One package, there is 66% penetration for digital cable, phone and broadband. Figures in the Buffalo area for customers with digital cable is only around 10% to 11%. TW must be doing something right!

In addition, TW offers more channels in their respective TV lineup in addition to a huge selection of VOD. It will be interesting to see how much Time Warner will invest in WNY area in upgrading the system to handle phone, more digital channels etc.

I didn't vote because there was no option for me. I think I will be on TW (not sure because I just moved here and just found out Adelphia was closing up shop). I don't know if I will be happy or unhappy with TW because I have no experience with them. (Before I moved, I had OOL on Long Island.) I guess I will wait and see! My only other option is Verizon DSL and they top out at 1.5 Mbps DL in my area and I get more than 4Mbps on Adelphia.

We're going to Comcast here (Mendocino County, Northern California). I don't really have an opinion yet, I want to see how Comcast will be here, but Adelphia has been great for HSI for us (well, to be honest, Adelphia is also our only choice for HSI), if a bit expensive. I guess I hope the good speeds (Premier Tier, we see 6100/850 all the time, and low latency) will continue, though I'd like to see lower prices, more competitive with DSL, but since most areas here can't get DSL, I'm not holding my breath.

Results so far are 51.6% of respondents are going to TW and 30% to Comcast.

And people seem somehwat less enthusiastic about going to TW than to Comcast.

I find that kind of surprising because I thought that Comcast was getting the bulk of the Adelphia customers?

Perhaps the biggest surprise is that 18.3% of respondents will be cancelling just to have the honor of drinking with Hob!

I believe we get TW here,I see no change is service short term.

I will say this again and the Adelphia employees who post here will agree, this isn't going to be a magic wand, so ..... If your service sucks today, it still will tomorrow, you just make your check out to a different company.

Drinks at Hob's ??? I'm there, but keeping my service as it is.

so I guess I'll endup with TW ...so, RRRick, add another vote to the 'going to TW and not happy with it' poll .
