| Divestitures Usually acquisitions come with divestiture conditions. I'd love to see the TWC Maine market sold to Comcast as they are a little better with network upgrades than TWC (hint: DOCSIS 3.0).

All of my CPE (including my EMTA) is customer owned. The only Comcast owned equipment in my house is the CableCards in the two TiVO boxes I own. | |

| | | Re: Divestitures There are no divestures in this deal. | |

| | | Re: Good luck, Insight customers. Who gives a shit about customer service? I don't use customer service every day. I use the product every day. Time Warner Cable has loads of HD channels and they're the last major cable provider with no bandwidth caps.
For those reasons alone they are leagues better than Comcap. | |

| Re: Good luck, Insight customers. If they don't invest money in customer service, do you think they don't do the same for upgrades on their network?
I had Comcast and now I have Mediacom and I *swear* to you, Mediacom is a lot worse and they cap at 250GB too! They just don't meter it and don't explicitly state it in their AUP.
I have U-Verse in another residence where I stay for weekend, and even this beats Mediacom especially in reliability. | |

| Re: Good luck, Insight customers. When we moved from Iowa to Massachusetts, we closed our Mediacom account and returned the equipment only to get a collection notice for unreturned equipment. I now live in Comcast territory and my grandma lives in Time Warner territory. I currently have DOCSIS 3.0 with Comcast and at Grandma's house in Maine; we're still waiting for the headend to get upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0 and they use SA/Cisco equipment (which I'm not a fan of).
BTW: My hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa has an overbuilder (I'm On Communications) so Mediacom should have an incentive to clean up their act in my hometown.

| Re: Good luck, Insight customers. Did u turn it back at their office or sent back? If u send it back they usually ask for papers or labels to be included with box u send back to help them identify owner. If u did it in office, then that doesn't excuse mediacom from not unregistering you. Perhaps a lady at the counter accepted your box but never updated your record. This happened to me when ordered $10 pizza hut online. I called in 10 min later got the store that was making my order to cancel it. The reason for it wa i did not want to wait 2 bours when i am hungry. They said yes on phone but still pizza guy showed up 2 h later and they charged me for it. Totally unacceptable. | |

| We will lose NFL network when TWC takes over Insight. A couple other channels we will lose also. We do not get MLB or NHL but i hope we will when TWC takes over. Here in Louisville, we have a call center but we do not know if we get to keep it yet. | |

New York, NY | Welcome They can now enjoy the mediocre tech service and the God awful, outdated equipment they force upon us with a smile and that "tough luck buddy" attitude. Good luck.. | |
|
| | | Re: Welcome More like they can now enjoy tons more HD channels and no bandwidth caps.
They should be thanking their lucky stars Comcap didn't buy them. | |
|
| | | Just bc TWC NYC hates you docent mean they will hate us, and btw Insight already had outdated equipment so it won't be a change if true. | |

Dry Ridge, KY | Re: Welcome July 1st? I thought they would close the deal sooner than that. I just upgraded to a Motorola DXC3400 PVR so the equipment is not that old. | |

| Re: Welcome There issuing old cable modems that have been around for 10 years the RCA by Thomson, only until 2 yrs ago could you get the newer moto boxes, as they were still issuing the 6412's, however they have not upgraded their standard digital cable boxes since rolling out digital cable. | |
|
| | is that correct? The link to the article talking about it saids before July 1st, here it is saying after July. | |

| | Insight - Time Warner Merger Counting down to the merger closing so I can change my service. As a previous Time Warner customer, there's one thing I know and that is they provide the worse customer service. I won't give them a dollar of my hard earned money | |
