It could be that Time Warner is cutting deals with cord cutters and lowering rates for those who ask which is keeping them from leaving. -- "Net Neutrality" zealots - the people you can thank for your capped Internet service. | |

 |  | | Re: Potential Grain of Truth I cut the cord Labor Day weekend (Digital Cable here in NC is $81 plus tax - just 1 regular box - no DVR), and TWC just came later that week and cut my service off. I still have internet, but they haven't called me to make an offer yet.
Hey TWC, if you want me back in November, have Monty Hall call me. But I am not paying $81 per month, and I don't want your phone service. | |

I don't mind the SPAM or even the snail mail; it's the telemarketing phone calls that I hate!
No I will not buy your overpriced cable or phone service so STOP CALLING!!!

 |  |  | | I have only Internet with TW and I get the occasional offer in the mail from TW. Last i think was Digital Cable+HD DVR box for $55/month or something like that but I had to prove that I was coming from another cable provider to get that offer. I guess they are oblivious that I cut-the-cord and assume I have some cable tv service with someone. | |

Yes its the state of the economy... and it's people starting with the most over-priced service that delivers the least. That is the service they are dropping.
Cable companies are like the record industry was (and to a lesser extent, still is)... they won't see the problem until it's too late for them. | |

Nothing to see here. Move along. | |

 | | Wheres the data How many of the 400,000 are Time Warner customers. It may be much ado about nothing because cord cutters are being offset by new customers via relocations and those who are jumping from dish | |

 Vumes join:2009-01-04 Beaverton, OR | Cord Cutter Here I am a cord cutter. I cut the cord this year when Frontier raised my TV prices by 40%. I can easily afford it, but I can't justify that much money to watch television. Instead, I watch the local channels with my HD antenna, and watch other TV shows via Netflix or the broadcasters website. And with all the other options becoming available lately, it gets even better. | |

 pnjunctionTeksavvy ExtremePremium join:2008-01-24 Toronto, ON kudos:1 | Young people Most young people I know have no need to cut the cord, we've simply never connected it in the first place (except to get cable internet).
Cord cutting is just getting started, what has grown from a trickle into a stream will turn into a torrent as the younger demographics replace the old. | |

| Re: Young people Every young person I know has digital cable, TWC, Cablevision, FiOS. 90% of the people that are supposedly cutting the cord are on this site... and in this thread. sigh.
I dont know what the cable co cable losses are, but the vast majority of them are going to telco TV. A few computer geeks arent having any major impacts. | |

 | | Interesting... Interesting topic.. Seeing as the TWC Cincinnati guy just showed up at my house yesterday to put a line filter on so I only get Internet now.
-- Cut the cable TV cord yesterday! | |
