Re: [TWC] Forced to switch to Time Warner--in CA-San Gabriel Val said by Blogger:I checked and they can't. It's a TW or nothing. I've never had a choice of cable companies.
OTA is bad as we are too CLOSE to the mountains upon which at the top sits every frigging transmitter for everything broadcast over the air in the greater Los Angeles basin.
It's too bad I can't just transfer Champion.

| Having had Champion Broadband and Time Warner I can tell you that Time Warner internet is much faster as they don't cap data speeds. With Champion, having a 10 MBps Internet plan gets you 6-9 typically and 4-5 in peak times. The equivalent Time Warner plan will get you 12-17, depending on the location and wiring. Champion has fewer outages but feels much slower. I was actually going to switch to Time Warner and found that basic cable and internet would cost about $70/month and more if you wanted boxes. |

said by djrobx:Buy the TWC "broadcast" basic TV package for less than $20 per month. $20? Really? Since when? I told TWC where to go when they sent me a letter saying that they were bumping the price for the basic TV package from $99 to $130. And that was for no internet connection at all! |

| Broadcast basic is a very limited number of channels, locals, a few home shopping networks, and foreign language, at least in NYC. Generally up to around channel 25. The $20.00 price varies by area. Your *basic* TV package probably was a digital service, with channels up to 99. |

Nope. I had 2-26 and that was it. The digital pack required a box that they wanted $14 a month for, and that was on top of the $185 a month for that package back when I had it. TWC=No Thanks for me. |
