said by fabolousrmx:Please relay me to those complaints. I don't know what you've seen but I have never had TWC, only "road runner online svc" (according to my bill) and I have been enjoying
espn3 'powered by time warner' since 10/25.

www.twcableuntangled.com ··· comments"Add me to the list that will be dropping ROAD RUNNER as soon as possible for another service since Time Warner has decided to be the only major ISP thats decided that we cannot view
espn3 without a cable subscription."
"the only option (paying) broadband only customers to get
espn3 is by paying for a cable service that they obviously did not want in the 1st place."
"Youre not doing a bad job, but this
espn3 rollout does smell rotten. TW is the only ISP that is forcing users to buy both video and broadband services to get
espn3.
espn3 is far from a value-add when you need to pay for unnecessary services to get it."
