Time Warner Cable of GSO, NC Totally Incompetent
Posted by
GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA -- Hey everyone I just sent the ADMIN an email to remove my pic, again I am sorry that it seems to bother/distract you so much. Even after I explained what had happened, And for the people who say they cannot get past the pic I take that as a compliment not an insult tyvm. It asked for an upload and I did it, it said max size was 296KB that's small not my fault. Meet me in real life and tell me they are contacts! I must just be one of the few that have eyes that blue, everyone has always commented on them and sometimes one turns green (Freaky)~~~~
Back to the point, I would really like everyone to just read the review and comment on the service and tech work. I have lost thousands of dollars here for a -17 signal. And I just found out that the previous owner had to have a AMP/Boost box attached here to get the service working, and that was installed by TWC. When they moved they took the AMP/Booster box with them I did not know this. All TWC did was push a button and switch my service to a new house, never once coming out here to check to see if my equipment was correct or that I had the correct equipment to run the services that were promised to me in a BINDING CONTRACT that I fulfilled but they did not!
I had more services than the previous owner so I would think that I needed a AMP/Booster also but I am not a TECH so I had no clue except for what they would tell me on the phone and you know how that goes. I talked to the previous owner a few days ago while I am putting this all together for the BBB and found out about the AMP/Booster. By god TWC should have come out here and hooked up my service instead of flipping a switch at their office and calling it done. So when I called TWC finally about this they would say went cannot monitor all of their customers?!?!?!?! I found that hard to swallow. If TWC are going to run a monopoly and pronounce themselves as the premier Cable/Phone/Internet service company then by god they should produce. Who ever made the comment about nothing being perfect, you are right nothing is but I at least expect service on time and not having to call them over 100 times in a few months because they won't even bother to figure this out. I am in the service industry myself and never ever would do this to a customer.
I have cakes,cookies,tips,etc waiting for me when I go to a service, not screaming customers because I promised something I couldn't/wouldn't deliver. I have even been threatened by them and hung up on, is that the way to treat a customer that is paying on time and fulfilling their contract? Do I not have the right to say something when I am being stolen from? I have no problem paying my bills, but I refuse to pay for something that I am not receiving in full. Go to http://www.digtriad.com/news/socialmedia/ and check out one of the videos I took from my TV and tell me if you want to pay for that.
I was under contract or I would have changed services in a heartbeat for this. But that's the cowards way out and it lets them get away with even more, well I say no more and I do not like to be stolen from or lied to. The only way to stop this is for people to band together and agree on what we can do about it, all I see are a bunch of people to scared to take on the status quo. They should not tell us what to do, we allow them into our cities and towns when they promise stuff and then some of us get shafted. Well why don't we all go back to writing bad checks and crap again then it would be the same. (A bunch of pissed off people owing something to someone else) is that really where we are headed again? Whatever happened to standing up for what is right? when did people lose their backbones? I have still got mine and it will always be here so take your best shot TWC or any other company that's tring to steal out of our pockets, someone will find out and hopefully will make a stand against you also.
TWC flat out lied on their BBB response to the complaint and I have over 40 increminating things that will put those chumps at TWC looking like the biggest liars in NC. I'll link em all every where if I have to for people to see, people might say enough is enough but that's only the people who don't want to hear or see the REALITY of it or life in general. They now have me down as a complaining customer that they are tring to make happy lol, whereas I have the videos of them cutting my line 6 times in the snow and some not in the snow and cutting my neighbors lines because they sent no locators until 4th dig and so on. Complaining customer? HELL YES!! your digging up 480 of my yard before Christmas and killing my neighbors lines + phone that runs a daycare so shes mad because she cannot get calls from the parens so she is losing money also.
None of that is mentioned in theor report just that there was no problem with my service.? (I'm Confused) They told me if I didn't call they would not know there was a problem because they cannot monitor everyone of their customers but at the same time when I do start calling I am now a complaining customer? If that doesn't sound like a scam to you all then I must be crazy... So please read this review and comment about it please lol. I will post a different review about Blue eyes OK that we can all get on :P. I'll be adding more, this has been going on for 2 years and 7 months now, oh and btw my service was finally restored just 2 weeks ago and I already owe my first bill in the next 7 days lol ahh life come on people are you with me?
3-1-11 OK First off please excuse the picture... When I summited this first part the review it had asked me to up load a picture, I thought it would be a tiny Avatar Pic not some Giant thing that scares certain people lol, it said max size 296kb size I used a 266kb pic I'm sorry. My eyes are that Blue just FYI for some of those comments, That should answer your questions. I haven't figured out how to take the pic off yet so pls just ignore it and concentrate on my experience please. It's always easy to sit back and judge, so read my issue then judge it if you must but it's the truth and I can prove it. There must be accountability for actions taken by these large companies, and if we do not voice it how are others to know? Btw thank you for some of those comments :P lol, and also the ppl who actually did read it and commented on it. I am tring to replace the pic with a pic of just one of my servive issues. Thank you. As of today I am waiting on the response from the BBB and TWC, then I will go from there. But one thing in this world I will not stand is lying, it will come back to get you ever time! And they are caught. And I do not blame TWC for my accident, I am just stating what has happened to me and the reason I did not notice how bad the problem was.
My problem with TWC started on Nov 1st 2008 when I moved into my new home. It is 480 Feet off the road and TWC installed 560 of cable, (which was already on the ground when I moved in) even after telling me that 400 feet of cable was hard to get a signal through and the still didn't cut it. (If it's to far then why give me service? Or why leave so much extra cable for the signal tho have to run through? There is a TWC junction box that can fit 10 people in it beside my house about 75 yards away..) I went by what they had said/done after all they are supposed to be the professionals. I was paying $166.00 for a service and expected nothing more than what they said they could give, I made multiple calls to TWC after moving in because my signal was bad and they would just say they were working in the area or they would refresh my boxes, which seemed to help for periods of time. But I live alone and rarely used more than one service at a time, So I really never noticed a problem just glitches and things when the phone would ring or if I was uploading an upgrade for a game or something the phone would cut off every few min even down to every few seconds. In June of 2009 just 6 1/2 months of living here I was Hit from behind in my truck while I was working by someone on their cell phone. I sustained many injuries and the worst one was to my head. I could no longer watch a regular TV (Any models that had slow framing) any more because for some reason I could see the frame works flashing down and it would make me pass out. I was in 3 times a day therepy and having head injections through my forehead and temples and soft spot and such it hurt so bad, When I would get home all I wanted to do was cry and sit in the dark. My TV of course was an old one so I did not watch TV/Internet again until May 2010. That was when for a present I was given a 46" LCD TV I was so happy That I could finally catch up on my shows lol. I even went and got the HD box and everything, soon as its all installed and ready to go "BOOM" half picture, words blurring together I have plenty of Videos, Audios and such that they won't even look at. So I started calling them to get it fixed and also my Pricelock guarantee that they would not honor even though I had fulfilled my part of the contract and they were the ones who mailed it to me, It took them 2 weeks and still could not figure out how to bill me even though I'm standing there with a paper in my hand, that they should be able to print off since they sent it to me. I had to finally step up and say hey since you can't figure it out "Managers" just throw me on the 33,33,33 deal on the TV right now and they did in just less that 30 min probably (WoW). They started to work on my house and found that I was receiving a -17 signal coming into my house. Now for anyone out there I really don't want to pay 166 bucks a month for a -17 signal when I'm supposed to have super turbo boost.... The wire running to my house was no bigger than a pencil and the "New Ones (x)6 were all bigger than 2 or 3 fingers put together... That's when they started cutting the lines of the 2 house's in front of me. So they would come out to fix their lines and cut mine then fix mine and cut theirs again this happened 6 times over 6 months right at Christmas too. I have lost over 2000 dollars on my pay check due to having to be off days for them to be here and the 5 hours they were here the day after Thanksgiving on a Sunday when I wanted to be at church. And especially the days where they don't show up and when you call in they want you to take another day off work.... How am I supposed to pay the bill if I cannot work because TWC is at my house all the time it just doesn't make any sense. They dug 3 times before they ever sent out a locator and when one finally showed up they painted their marks on top of the snow... One question kept popping up from them and it was "How can we make you happy and fix this" I could not believe what I was hearing, how can they not know how to fix the problem they created. Honor your contract you sent to me that was underlined "you don't have to do a thing" and yes they used slang I could not believe it. In a business like theirs they should be a little more cafeful wording with their contracts. And second give me the correct equipment and such to run the service that I am paying for is that to much to ask? BUT!!!!!!! all I have gotten is the run around, threatened, hung up on, and called names, and a few other things. Sure I could give up like a lot of people and just say Blah I'll go with another company, but the reality of the matter is, is that I honored my contract with TWC and did not receive my proper service (To me that is stealing my money). They did not know I had a video every time they were working at my house, even when they were inside my house the cameras were rolling ^^. (2nd) One of the people from TWC that is handling the BBB complaint hung up on me tonight (I have it all recorded), this is after a call from the same department the day before on a wrong number. They have been given the number 40 times or more to call instead of the one they did and I have personally witnessed them put the number in as the prime number to call and they still don't so that is total harassment, but I still talked with them and they said they would not honor the terms I was asked to give them from the BBB so I am going to rebut their claims. They say they did not cut or disrupt my neighbors lines and such which were also credited on their bills and the horrible landscaping now will prove other wise lol. They say there was nothing wrong with my service even when one of the Managers was here and saw the TV box rebooting every 8 minutes, but on their report they have they stated they removed my Radio Shack wires I had put in... This is after they had been here numerous times and had installed the wires themselves. I had the bag and receipt from the HD box I had received from them and the wires laid out on my couch and everything ready for the tech to fix my problem and the tech came without any of the equipment that was listed on the work order. The response from the tech while I was on the phone with TWC customer service he would not call and they would not call the tech was "Where am I going to get new boxes on Sunday"... In the middle of a conversation with the tech about my service the tech's personal phone rang and the tech answered it while I was in mid sentenceand walked out of the house for 22 min 12 sec then the tech brought up a beat up HD cable box (all the tech had in the van) and hooked it up to my TV in the bedroom where I don't even watch TV, this is the same tech that registered my -17 signal and had the new wire scheduled to be installed. I was told tonight by the person from TWC handling the BBB complaint that I was a complaining customer they were just giving me new stuff to make me happy and there was nothing wrong with my service -- My service was finally almost fully restored on this last Sunday 2-20-11. I have been credited from the top people in TWC over this area and if that doesn't say something I don't know what does around 500 dollars so far but I have not had regular service for 6 months so why was I receiving past due bills even though I had completed my renewal contract and they were working on my service? I have given you half of the story so far I have videos, audios and recording from them and they are still denying it all. Someone dropped the ball and they just kept on kicking it I guess, and now they think they can just sweep me under the rug? Well They have never met the likes of me before, I have my will and respect to stand on and a voice that can be heard. I have been called a liar, cussed at, threatened and said I had threatened, put on hold while they went to lunch and when they got back I was still there and they would hang up, I have been told that I am the cause of the -17 signal lol, plus much more. (NO MORE!) We allow them to be here and we can just as easily as a majority kick them out. After all look how long it took us to agree on the new FedX Hub ^^. I say treat us like people again and not numbers and maybe we will begin building trust in TWC again. Thank you for reading my post I have plenty more information and will be adding it tomorrow this is enough for tonight they have already taken up 2 years and 6 months of my life I refuse to give them more than this tonight.

I don't believe the OP installed a pertinent cable. The tech claimed that he/she found R/S cables, but the OP says TWC themselves installed the cable.

Haven't figured that statement out yet.
I agree with Pepper. A "right in your face" shot like that is arrogant and pushy.
I sure wish Admin would restrict the size of these pictures so they don't upset the page format.
PepperElf on 02/26/2011:
ya. maybe I should write a review and toss up my map of middle earth. it's poster size I think...
getoverit on 02/26/2011:
I honestly didn't read this whole review because I lost track of what the real issue was aomewhere around the beginning of the second page.
The problem with cable companies, of course, is that they are the only game in town. So, if they don't live up to your expectations, your only alternative is not another service, but no service.
One thing I often wonder about in situations like this is how much attention and support a single customer is entitled to receive. The OP states that his house is an excptionally long distance from the street and seems to feel entitled to some special treatment due to some truly unfortunate medical conditions.
So, I get the feeling that this particular customer has some pretty high expectations that won't be met. This is making him pretty miserable. He might be right, in terms of the letter of his contract with TWC and applicable regulations, but it makes me wonder if those expectation will ever be met.
trmn8r on 02/26/2011:
I'd like to point out that the OP states he was badly injured by a chowderhead using a cell phone while driving.
{end of PSA}
getoverit -> The cable company *is* responsible, IMO, for supplying the right equipment/cables to get a signal to the OP. Otherwise, they should not accept him as a customer. I am 350' off the road, and the cable company put in a cable the size of my.. well, it's large.
getoverit on 02/26/2011:
trmn8r - you might be right about the cable about the company's responsibility, technically. But what can you realistically expect? It seems to me that you made a similar comment about customer expectations in the telecom industroy on another (Verizon) issue recently.
In theory, nothing works in practice that doesn't work in theory.
trmn8r on 02/26/2011:
Well... it seems to me the cable company has to provide a signal sufficient to watch a tv that matches the service (analog, digital, HD) paid for.
The gray would come in with how much degradation you have. Degradation with analog is not as serious an issue as with digital/HD, because with those the failure is catastrophic. I'm not sure what problem the OP has, and why one tv works better than another.
momsey on 02/26/2011:
He is cute. Reminds me of my ex boyfriend.
trmn8r on 02/26/2011:
momsey, your comment caused me to look at the pic again.
It reminded me of a blind date I had. I picked her up at her apartment, which reeked of cigarette smoke. At dinner, I looked into her eyes, and they were a bizarre blue-purple color. In my usual subtle fashion, I asked "so, what color ~are~ your eyes?" I had never seen colored contacts before. And I haven't sense, nor her.
Anonymous on 02/26/2011:
My eyes look that blue in pics and I don't wear contacts. It's an oddity here, that's for sure.

Ytropious on 02/27/2011:
OPs eyes are definitely contacts, no one has that shade of blue eyes. Also I love how half the comments on this are about the OP's picture and not about the OP's complaint, that has to be a first!
Anonymous on 02/27/2011:
Y, not true. My eyes are very close to that color--at least that's how they appear in pictures. Sometimes it depends on the exposure too. But, he may just very well be wearing contacts--we'll never know unless he comes back and tells us.
I do agree. Maybe more people should just post their pics with their complaints/compliments. That really does make it more interesting. Now, what was his post about again? LOL.
Starlord on 02/27/2011:
My dad had such light blue eyes that in B/W photos in the war years, his eyes looked like two black dots in white eyes. Photos had to be hand-tinted to approximate his eyes. Luckily, this was a common thing in 1941 to 1944.

Center Ice Services pre-emted by MLB on Time Warner Cable
Posted by
SYRACUSE/BUFFALO/NYC, NEW YORK -- I have been a Time Warner customer for almost one year. I have had every problem under the sun. could not get the weather channel for the 1st 3 weeks. DVR records nothing but black or a message that says this channel is unavailable at this time. Tuning to channels that just black out. I have also been recently charged $3.94 per month for a modem that was to be included in my package price. Apparently, this has begun a class action lawsuit against this deceitful communications company.
I also subscribe to NHL center ice. Not only do I experience the above issues with this service as well but Time Warner has found a new way to (in my opinion) rip people off. Services that are paid for in advance are not being delivered. I live in upstate NY. I am 6 hours form Buffalo, 8 or more hours from NYC, and my closest NHL team is 1.5 hours away in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. On Tuesday March 26 2013, Buffalo Sabers at Tampa Bay Lightning. Even if this game were in Buffalo, I would not drive 6 hours to see this game live. This game was in Tampa Florida over 1300 mile away from my home. The center Ice channel said this game was "required to be blacked out in my local market area." Maybe this part is true but I don't think that's how blackouts work.
All that week the NHL center ice channels were not working in the day. There were no game replays between 3/26 and 3/30/13. Replays are part of the agreement for center ice. Also missing was the Statistics channel for NHL (also part of the deal). Time Warner could not and would not offer an explanation to this. Then it got much worse.
On Saturday March 30th, Center Ice seemed to work OK until game time. The 10:30pm (eastern) game between the Phoenix Coyotes and San Jose Sharks was not on. Instead I got the same message that the game was "required to be blacked out in my local market area. This game was in San Jose California which is about 3000+ miles from me. If this required black out were the case I would not get any games. This game was not on the HD channel 1119 or the standard Def channel 1122. Both had this message. I called tech support and the tech said they are getting lots of calls about this and working to remedy this. This was at 11:23 pm on 3/30/13.
The next day I was looking for this games replay and could not find it. On the channel where the live game and replays were supposed to be I found the same message at 11am on 3/31/13 (required to be blacked out in my local market area." This was a replay of the previous nights game. Replay blacked out? But it gets worse.
Later that day, (Sun. 3/31/13 At 6pm.) I tried to watch the Los Angeles Kings at the Dallas Stars. Again, this game is thousands of miles from my market area. I got the same message regarding my "local market area". I called tech support. While waiting on hold, I checked for this game on the SD channel 1122 and it was on their in Standard Def. Why does the HD channel say "required to be blacked out". Is time Warner lying to customers and used blackout restrictions that don't apply to games. I spent over an hour on the line again. The tech was trying to find out why this was happening. He attributed it to the fact that Time Warner uses the same channels (1112 through 1134) for both NHL center ice and MLB baseball. The tech went on to say that I am "probably going to run in to this issue a lot now that baseball is starting, especially on the HD channels."
Prepaid Hockey preempted by MLB is not what NHL center ice customers pay for. I believe the messages about "local market area" are false statements. These blackouts or not because of FCC or NHL Rules but due to Time Warner's Unwillingness or Technical inability to assign separate channels for Mlb and NHL. Direct TV does have separate channels. Is time Warner using FCC and NHL blackout rules to mask this problem that is obviously within their system.
In My opinion this is not only blaming the FCC and/or NHL but an abuse of these blackout restrictions. It is also my opinion that this is another method time Warner uses to rip off unsuspecting Hockey consumers. All subscribers paid in advance for NHL center Ice and press releases about the agreements for this year state that it includes same day replays and that it runs from 1/19/13 to 4/27/13. Today is April first yet I have already had NHL games (both HD and sd) have been blocked or preempted by Mlb baseballs package. This morning I turned to the NHL channels and see that there is no hockey schedule as usually but the Mlb schedule is there instead. This caused me to form the opinion that Time Warner already got the Money from Hockey fans and now the need to get MLB subscribers money at the expense of the NHL subscribers. Many have paid for this and expect hockey until 4/27. To broadcast games on SD channels and black out the same game on HD under the guise of "Blackout restrictions" should be criminal (and it may be).
After the call to tech support yesterday, I requested to be transferred to cancellations department. As I explained my concerns about this, the representative tried to use these same lies to "make me go away". When the representative realized I has researched the accurate info and would not buy his explanations, it got quiet and then the representative hung up. I called back two more times to the same department and again was hung up on both times.
I a call last week regarding this issue, I was actually told (in a very snotty tone) is because of FCC rules. I believe that is false.
In my research I discovered that time Warner had or has a lawsuit against them regarding Illegal modem charges. I too have had these charges even though my agreement was to include this in the monthly fee.
Hopefully someone looks into this and files another class action suit against time Warner for this deceitful business practices regarding sports packages.
I have even contacted the Office of the President (on numerous occasions) where a representative there also lied to me and was extremely argumentative. I will not be going through this for the full price of the package next year. I will most likely switch to Direct TV as there are no other cable providers available due to time warrens monopoly on my area. It is obvious to me Time Warner is not interested in fixing the issues. I will be taking this up through other avenues as I have given time Warner a year and never had anything resolved.
Anyone else having these problems (and I am sure they are) can file a complaint a FCC.gov/complaints. There is also a similar complaint line for the federal trade commission. I would also encourage letters or other communique directly to the National Hockey League offices. They may be interested to know what time Warner is doing to hockey fans to accommodation Mlb. They may have issue with the way the product is being miss handled by Time Warner. Steven Wittels is the attorney that was involved in the other class action lawsuit against Time Warner. I wonder if he would be interested to look in to this. For others with this issue, Mr Wittels office is on Avenue of the Americas In NYC.

"Prepaid Hockey preempted by MLB is not what NHL center ice customers pay for."
This sounds like it may be very close to the crux of your complaint. Hope they get this fixed, because I think they will indeed have a lot more angry customers.

Time Warner Cable SoCal is FAIL
Posted by
FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA -- Here is a log of the events that have transpired in the past week with Time Warner Cable Company in Southern California, my neighbor, and myself.
On June 21 I turned 28. I decided for a birthday gift I would purchase a TiVO Series 3 DVR with HD. I thought how I will be able to use this when we get home since I did not have the cable card for it. I know the Motorola DVR box provided by the cable company did have a multi-cast cable card, or m-card for short. I called 888-TW-CABLE on 6/21 09:49 PM. I asked the rep if I could take the card out of the old box and put it in my TiVo HD. He said it was not a problem. I removed the card out of the old box and put it in my new box. It was only receiving channels 2-13 in SD and HD. He sent a signal to my box a couple of times and it is all working. I thanked him for his time and went on to setting up the TiVo and setting up the programs I wanted to record.
On Friday, June 27, I decided to take the old cable box to the Time Warner Cable Store located at 1565 S. Harbor Blvd in Fullerton. After waiting in line I was helped by Bob to return my equipment. As he was scanning it in I informed him that this box doesn't have an m-card since I am using it in my TiVo. He gave me this blank look and told me that the equipment is damaged. I told him that is what the phone rep told me I could do and it's not damaged, the card is working fine in my TiVo. After some back and forth he went to get his supervisor, Jane. I explained the situation again to her and she told me the equipment is now damaged since I am not supposed to remove the card from the box. Since the card and the box are linked to each other if one is removed it causes both to stop working. Her exact words were, "Once you remove the card from the box both the card and box self destruct." I explained to her again that the card is still working fine in my TiVo and I have been recording shows with it.
If it was not supposed to work why did the phone rep activate it? She said as of right now the equipment is considered damaged and I will have to wait until Monday while they investigate. In the mean time while I have been talking, Bob took that opportunity to deactivate the card I was using in my TiVo. They informed me I need to bring back the old card and they will issue me a new card. They took the equipment away, the receipt I already signed, and wouldn't issue me a proper card until I brought the old card back. I was so upset at this whole ordeal I was shaking while I was driving home. I got the card out of my TiVo and before I went back to that Time Warner Cable Store I made a copy of all the information on the M-Card.
As I was driving back some things didn't add up. If the mere act of removing something, that itself is designed to be modular, destroys the card and the equipment it came from then why was the card still working? If I was never supposed to do this and they feel that there was some miscommunication then why did the phone rep never ask me where did I get the card from or stop me and say you can't remove the card from the old box? That one is a puzzler since Bob at the Time Warner Cable Store said you can purchase these M-Cards anywhere including Circuit City. I think it would be important to make sure that the cards are set up properly.
Finally my last question to them was, well now that I brought the card back can we hook it up to see if it is damaged? Their reply was absolutely not. They have to send it back to the warehouse. I asked them again and they refused to test the equipment right then and there to see how damaged it actually is. It seems like that would be something you would want to do to prove to the customer that is actually damaged instead of you saying it was damaged without proving it to me.
Well I did get my new card and the only difference? The old card had a red label; this one had a blue label. The old card worked fine in my TiVo. The blue one only gets me channels 2-13 even after getting a signal sent to my box for activation.
So it doesn't stop here. Remember I mentioned my neighbor earlier? Well she showed up at the same Time Warner Cable Store. Apparently the technician that came out to install her m-card in her TiVo didn't feel it was important. He left before setting it up and when he took off in a hurry he left the wrong card, it was a single cast card. That is why she was there, to get the m-card. Well they refused her to give her a new card; she had to fight to get one even though it was their fault. So she gets an m-card out of them eventually and takes it home. Guess what, she is getting only channels 2-13 as well.
Here is where it gets even worse. The instructions she got with the cable card tell her to call this number to activate the card, the same TW Number everyone calls. So I call for her and speak to another rep. He doesn't understand what a cable card is. He doesn't understand that I am supposed to be calling this number to get it activated. Instead of asking someone what I am talking about he basically blows it off and says the tech will be there tomorrow. That night I went home after dinner and called Time Warner myself and told them I received a cable card I want to use in my TiVo and I am only getting channels 2-13. She tried to convince me it was a problem with my remote control. I flat out told her that she needs to activate my m-card and I have the numbers she needs. She just humored me taking the numbers.
"OK, can I get those numbers now?"
Which ones do you need first?
"It doesn't matter"
So I just started to read numbers off to her not really telling her what set I was reading from. She told me that it will be ready in 2-3 minutes; her supervisor just sent the signal to the box. Well I waited an hour and what a surprise still no channels. I took the m-card back to the store this morning and Bob is still there, does he ever go home? I told him the card doesn't work and it's only getting channels 2-13. He said there is nothing he could do except schedule a technician to come out to configure it. I told him my neighbor has a tech coming out for the same exact thing later that day between 1-5 and if he could stop by. He said it was up to tech. He didn't bother calling the dispatcher to find out if it is OK or check my neighbors schedule or anything. He said it is up to him and he made an appointment for Monday just in case.
It seems all Time Warner Cable SoCal wants to do is lie, deceive, and extort. I already filed a complaint with the FCC since they are not allowing me to use the m-card in my TiVo. Next I will be calling the Office of the President - Customer Care Advocate on Monday to voice my complaint. Depending what the Time Warner Cable Retail Store office says on Monday after their little investigation I may contact agencies such as BBB, FTC, and possibly a follow up with the FCC.
Resolution Update 07/11/2008:
After the local CSR and the main office rep never contacted me back I decided to pursue the matter through the Better Business Bureau. I received a call from the local area rep and we discussed my concerns about that particular store. She said she will look into the matter with the store CSR. This complaint has been resolved to my satisfaction.

If my3cents.com is serious about actually making a difference then you probably will want to turn off the google ads that are selling Time Warner cable that appear right next to the article about how much Time Warner cable sucks. It's very hard to take this seriously while you are pimping out the services that your members happen to be complaining about.
Poor form.

Those ad's are not run by M3C's. They are a feed from one of the many third party ad sites. What ad's show up are controlled by a third party. If you click on one of the ad's you will get about a half dozen ad tracking cookies placed on your computer. That is one of the ways M3C's makes money to help keep this site free to the users.
You may see a DirecTV ad show up in the body of a DirecTV complaint. Just the way things work now.

Makes you Stressed!!!! Worst Co.
Posted by
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- I wanted a home phone and thought about getting cable. I already had High Speed Internet so I considered a bundle.
First of all, these old HD DVR Scientific Atlantic boxes are the terrible. Mine freezes every single night I go to watch TV. It's annoying and I figure I spend an hour or more a week total trying to get this damn thing to do what it's supposed to do with no problem-but nope, it's always a problem. Already switched a box and have had people look at the lines and every thing was said to be okay-but it wasn't, obviously.
I was promised a newer Samsung HD DVR box but now I'm told they're in high demand but have few to offer. So why was I told I could get one when I signed up? They lied to me from the start and I should have known right there I was getting into a company that doesn't care about their customers but themselves. Making it even worst,, as soon as I had service, I noticed right off the bat that I was experiencing the problems I've continue to have today. They supposedly give you 30 days warranty and I should have taken that advantage when I could have.
They charge you a month ahead and so in no time you're bill is past due-and I'm suddenly in the whole paying my bills because of Time Warner tacking on 20 plus dollars a month because of being late-when technically I'm not late but am by their standards. They say they can work with you on a payment plan but that's bull[snip] because when I asked the guy about the plan he said the "plan" is paying the minimum...lol What a LOAD OF[snip]!!!
This is a racket and it's wrong how they're treating people. I can't even cancel services because I can't get anyone on the phone! I just called and now they're saying that there's an unusual wait time so fine, I'll wait it out while on speaker phone.. Four days ago I spent an hour on the phone for nothing-I got hung up on! I want cable but can't deal with this headaches anymore.
I'm so stressed out over this. Just as I catch up and pay the damn bill, I'm already past due from the new month. With Dish Network, I never had these issues, their equipment was wonderful and I was extremely happy with service but decided to try TWC since I already had their High Speed & getting a land line. Biggest mistake I made.
A word of advice, you want Cable-do not go to Time Warner! Go to Dish Network instead! I'm still looking into all these charges I"m paying. My bill started at 154 a month and now I"m trying to figure out why it's been 168 a month (before late fees). Don't do it. They make it easy, you call them up-they're kind but after they got you, you'll not experience any pleasantry after wards. Good luck, wish me lots of it because I'm going to need it..(still waiting for an operator by the way and I've even walked away for 15 minutes for coffee and to make a sandwich!!!!)

Time Warner Cable caused me to have an emotional breakdown.
Posted by
ARLINGTON, TEXAS -- On August 02, 2011 my apartment caught on fire in which destroyed everything I owned including Time Warner Cable Equipment. Thank God I did have renters insurance. So in the month of September I finally was able to find a place to live in which I was very excited to do, because of the places I had to live because of the fire. I called Time Warner Cable to have my services transferred and to pay the balance due on my account. I relyed completely on Time Warner Cable to be able to give me the balance owed on my account simply because all the bill that I had was destroyed in the fire. The agent that took my call told me that all I owed was $50.00 dollars, so that is what I paid. We then was able to set up an appointment to have my services connected. My services was connected on September 8, 2011. After 2 whole months had passed I received a call from Brandi in the collection department saying that my service will be disconnected tomorrow if I fail to set up payment arrangement with her now. I explained to her that I was not aware of such a balance do and that there is no way that I could make a payment because I just paid my bill for Time Warner Cable of $303.00 two days prior. I immediately became ill because I work from my home and I have to have internet and my phone service to do so. While we was talking she disconnected my service. I started crying uncontrollable. I couldn't breathe. She told me to calm down. I had so much pressure on me through this lady Brandi that I had no choice to give her dates out of my state of confusion on when I could pay this bill. She said that I had to pay the bill before the month is out. I paid the first payment, so when the second due date came which was 2 weeks later, I called Timer Warner Cable because I couldn't meet that dead line in such short notice, I was advised that I didn't have to make a payment today but I needed to make a payment the following Wednesday to avoid disconnect. I trusted the agent again, so my time came to clock in for work and about 30 minutes toward the end of my shift Time Warner Cable disconnected my cable, internet and phone services. After paying my the bill with borrowed money my services was reconnected all to be disconnected again by Brandi because I advised her after she phoned me, that I no longer needed her services and that I was going to make a formal complaint against her and everyone else who provided me with false information and down right lousy service. I then had to call Time Warner Cable again to find out why Brandi did this. The supervisor said that she did not understand why my service was disconnected. I kept on stressing to her that Brandi did it. She eventually was able to reconnect my services. I wish that I could get another provider but unfortunately they are the only company in my area.

What kind of phone service do they have where you are? Most phone companies offer high speed DSL or Fiber Optic service for internet. I'd check into that if TW can't keep their story straight. I'm sorry this caused you so much grief.
CowboyFan on 12/21/2011:
One of the things which help in situations like this is a follow up letter for each event as it occurs. If they say you only owe $50.00 and you pay it, then write a letter saying: This is to confirm our conversation of August 20, 2011, where your employee, Brenda P., informed me I needed to pay only $50.00 to continue my internet service. I made that payment this date. If this is incorrect, or there are additional conditions, please contact me. Cordially, consumer.

The Worst Customer Service Experience I Have Ever Had from Any Company In Any Business
Posted by
HEMET, CA, ARIZONA -- These Guys Can not get anything right. We all have complaints about the packages the entire industry offers. In order to get the 10 or 15 channels you actually watch you have to buy 250 channels. But these guys just plain Lie.
My story is a long one and continues. So, get yourself a drink and settle in for my tale of woe that begins last summer. Smoke em if you got em.
I am always looking for a better deal for my home entertainment and a Time Warner representative showed up at my door offering what looked to be a good deal. All the channels I wanted for about $15 less a month.
When the Tech showed up (between 12:00 and 5:00) it turned out that on my second TV I would only get local channels and I would have to pay for additional basic cable. So I sent him away.
2 months ago another guy shows up. This time he assures me that I will get basic cable on my second TV and it was true. But, There was another problem.
I had become aware that many cable companies do not have the skip feature on their DVR Remote control, requiring you to fast forward through commercials, rather than simply skipping over them. He assured me that I could request that equipment. I told him no skip button would be a deal breaker. "No problem." he says.
The Tech showed up (between 12:00 and 5:00), no skip button. He tried to convince me that it was just as good, but I wasn't having any of it. A DVR without a skip button is a glorified VCR. I sent him away.
The salesman calls me back and explains that it was just a misunderstanding and I would get the equipment I wanted. I agreed and another chapter begins.
The tech shows up (between 12:00 and 5:00). This time he has the correct equipment. But, the second TV is not included and he wants to charge me for it. I told him to leave. He called his boss or someone and they told him to install it with basic for no charge.
He completes the installation and collects a check for the first month's service and leaves. It took me about 5 minutes to discover that I was only getting local channels and damn few basic channels. Soon after I got the follow-up call from someone wanting to know if I was pleased. I was not. He told me he would get hold of the tech and send him back. If you think he returned I have some stock I would dearly like to sell. Now I'm pissed.
Since I had not yet canceled my account with DISH,
I decided that I would just Hook it back up and tell Time Warner to never darken my doorstep again. That is when I discovered that instead of unscrewing the cables from the back of my DISH DVR this clown cut them. Now if I want to Dump Time Warner I am probably going to be out cash for a DISH service call and without TV for more than a week. Because we all know they show up when they damn well please (between 12:00 and 5:00).
It was Saturday night and I spent all day Sunday trying to get customer service to come out on Monday and fix it. You know how that went, but they did assure me they would be here between 12:00 and 5:00 some day.
Monday morning I finally got through to a customer service supervisor, who got hold of a tech supervisor. Shortly (about 2 hours) he showed up. He seemed to be a nice young man and very professional. He soon had everything squared away or so I thought. I mentioned to him that the television had a fluctuating whine or whistle sometimes very soft and almost unnoticeable. He told me that it was my television speakers and there wasn't anything he could do. I accepted this reluctantly and thanked him for coming.
As I continued to watch TV that day the whine got really loud. So, loud I couldn't hear what was being said on the programs. It was obvious it was not my speakers. I called the Tech supervisor and he said he would be here at the end of the day. At 7 PM on a Monday night he called and asked if he could reschedule for Wednesday and he would fit me in. I'm now really angry, but I thought it best not to get in swinging distance of a Time Warner employee at that moment, so I agreed.
It's now Wednesday 6:00 PM and I still haven't heard from him. I found the business card he gave me and I called him. He said that he would stop on his way home from work. I guess he felt I hadn't waited long enough. But, he showed up about an hour later with a second DVR.
He installed the DVR and I informed him that I still wasn't getting all the programing I was promised. You guessed it, Liars lie. I was required to purchase another package to get History International. I told him to leave and I was not polite about it.
You might think this story ends here, But now another chapter begins, entitled "The Internet Fiasco". I play online poker. I have an account stuffed full of play money. It is play money, which is the only reason I didn't burn down the local Time Warner Office. My connection seemed to get dropped, always in the middle of a large pot that I was invested in.
Turns out that their modem was junk. But, they would be happy to come out in a couple of days (between 12:00 and 5:00) and take care of it. To their credit they did.
You think this story is over. Remember that stock, it is still for sell.
Last night around 11 PM a very loud crash emanated from my home entertainment system and the blue screen of death stared back at me from my TV.
This made me so angry I could not sleep. So, as I finish writing this the sun has risen on Sunday morning. There is a bright side to this episode my house will get cleaned since I won't be watching Face the Nation, Meet the Press or This week with George (however you spell his last name) Stephanopolis.
Now I have paid for a months programing in advance and have a bill for the 2nd month and I still haven't received a full continuous month of uninterrupted service. Do you think I'm going to pay it? YEAH I AM GOING TO PAY IT! Because dish and direct will be out some day between 12:00 and 5:00 to install my new service.
I am sure Time Warner Cares and will take care of the problem someday between 12:00 and 5:00. But, in the mean time I will be talking to nice people with thick accents all over the world, on Time Warner's nickel. What a great Monday it will be.
If these companies spent a fraction of the time trying to keep their present customers happy as they do trying to lure you away from their competitors, maybe they could build some brand loyalty and not need to give you those worthless movie channels as enticement to join them.

Time Warner Customer Service is HORRIBLE!
Posted by
Overly Disgusted!
GOLDSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA -- All of this has transpired within the past month with Time Warner Cable. I would like to add that we havenât had any problems with the actual technicians. Our problems have always been with Customer Service.
On June 25th, 2008 we had R.R. installed. The technician did not give us an email address or a password. He told us we would have to call TWC to obtain it. On July 1st. our Internet was not working so I called TWC and set up an appt. with a technician when the problem could not be resolved on the phone. I then told the lady that when you call my home phone my voice service was picking up and taking calls although I had my phone turned off at the same time I added R.R. on June 25th, 2008. She transferred me to someone else who told me that there was some wrong codes put in and that is why my Internet was not working and my phone was still taking messages. He fixed the problem. Today (July 3rd, 2008) I woke up to find my Internet not working again. I called TWC and they gave me a work number and said my modem was bad then transferred me locally.
I waited on hold for almost an hour and a half on my cell phone (remember, I had my home phone turned off) before hanging up. I tried to call back multiple times from another cell phone while on hold and each time I would go through the automated system to the point where it was to transfer me to a technician and then it would disconnect. This happened at least 7 times throughout today. I was finally able to get back to where I was with the technician about to transfer me again when I asked him not to because of my earlier experience. He assured me he would stay on the line for about a minute. After a minute, he came back and said our local office was experiencing unusual high amount of calls and I could either hold or take my modem in myself and exchange it. I elected to take it in myself and exchange it.
When I got to our service store I started to explain that I was on hold for an hour and a half and she didn't even look at me so I exchanged the modem and took it home to hook it up. When I tried to connect to the Internet, it took me to the installation page where I had to call yet another time to TWC. He helped me get the Internet up and running again. I decided to try to set up my email only to find out that I had to call ANOTHER time to do so.... and again the technician had to connect me to someone else cause it was showing my password on file. After talking to the new technician and answering a ton of questions and searching for a number on my modem, I am finally to the point where I can take this survey. It is now 4:50 in the afternoon and I have spent the entire day trying to fix my Internet and get things set up. Needless to say, I am not happy that I have had to spend my entire day taking care of this matter and the amount of time on hold was extremely uncalled for!
July 22nd. We had a thunderstorm that knocked out our cable and Internet around 3:30 PM. I saw a technician working on the box across the street that controls my home cable around 8:30 PM. He left before 9:30 PM and I checked all my rooms for cable and my Internet and still wasnât getting cable or Internet. I called and was told that there was an outage in my area and it was expected to be cleared by 10:30. I waited until 10:30 to call back when the outage should have been cleared and went through a series of steps with the lady who answered the phone who eventually said that I would need a technician out here but the soonest she could get one here would be Saturday and that she was going to expedite it and to expect a call back the following day (July 23rd) before 5PM.
July 23rd was my wedding anniversary and I called back at 4:30 when it became apparent that no one was going to call. I AGAIN went thought the series of steps of disconnecting the modem and the computer and reconnecting it so the lady could tell me what I already knew (that a technician was needed to come out here) and she transferred me to my local office in which I remained on hold for 2 hours (on my cell phone because remember I donât have a home phone anymore) before hanging up. My husband and I were late for our dinner reservation due to the extensive wait time on hold with Time Warner Cable, the kids were bored without any cable or internet at home which made the babysitters job that much more difficult.
July 24th. I am calling back at 10:30AM. My call was answered at 11AM and I was told a technician was supposed to have already been out here. I told the representative that if a technician was supposed to have been out here, nobody told me. She then put me on hold and said that a technician will be calling within the hour to tell me when he will be here and that it will be today sometime. The technician called at 2:45 to tell me that he was outside.
All of this has happened within a month and we have not had even a day of compensation or apology. We are currently looking into Direct TV as we have HAD IT with Time Warner. I tried to find a place to file a complaint on their site, but conveniently had no luck.

If you decide to go with DirecTV do not, I repeat, DO NOT rely on anything they tell you on the phone. They will lie to you about anything and everything. The best thing you can do for yourself is go to their website and read the contract they about to stick you with. Read it carefully, it is loaded with traps, expensive traps. Remember, this is what they will hold you to, regardless of what some jerk-weed customer service representative tries to make you believe.
Check out the complaints here first. Then decide.
Anonymous on 07/26/2008:
Chuck is spot on, DirecTV has a 97% disapproval rating around here. 99% of that is because of all the lies they tell on the telephone. I think I would battle it out with TWC before jumping ship to something worse. Plus DirecTV can offer no phone or Internet service. They would have to sub that out to a 3rd party.

I don't know if this helps, since you are from South Carolina, but I wrote a complaint letter to this address found on their main website.

Attn: Research Manager
Good luck with these TWC jerks. As you can see by my screen name, I have no love for Time Warner. They are the worst.
Also, I wrote to the BBB and they are really good at getting the complaint to the company executives:

Worst customer service EVER
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Documented below is a log of my 2+ week saga to have Time Warner fix my phone and internet service. Over the years I have encountered both good and bad customer service, but I can honestly say that this is the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I finally decided to cancel my service after the latest interaction today and have signed up for phone and internet service from Verizon and TV through a company called NuVisions. I did not want to switch service, but I made the decision that I could no longer give my business to Time Warner if this is how they were going to treat their customers! I would discourage anyone else from buying their services as well, and I don't think you will if you take the time to read what I went through...
Time Warner Issues
- I first noticed problem with the phone service. My voice was cutting in and out intermittently. The problem was not happening that frequently and I believed the problem was related to my phone.
- After a period of time, and looking for a new phone, I realized that I was having the same issue on mulitple phones and that it must be a service issue, not a phone issue.
Thursday, 8/17/06
- My first of what would be many calls to customer service. I called to tell them I was having a problem with my service. They took diagnostics and said that they would send it to the tech guys for analysis. They then told me I would be contacted with 48 hours with the results.
Tuesday, 8/22/06
- After never being contacted by Time Warner (despite it being over 100 hours since I last called), I called customer service again.
- The operator tells me I have a definite problem with my line and that they need to schedule an appt. The earliest appt. is Sat, 8/26 for between 10 and 2. I take that appt because I have no choice, even though I don't want to wait 4 days for the problem to be fixed.
Saturday, 8/26/06
- I wait around for the tech until 1:50. At this time I call Time Warner to verify the tech is still coming. The cs rep says that he is still scheduled and will arrive shortly.
- Around 4:00 I call back, the tech not having shown up, and am informed my appt. has been cancelled because I didn't answer my phone. The tech apparently called me at 3:50, almost 2 hours after the scheduled window. This despite the fact that I had been in my apartment waiting ALL DAY. It also never occurred to the tech that he might not be able to call me, even though he was coming out to FIX MY PHONE! I am told by the cs rep that I must re-schedule and the next available appt. is Tuesday. I ask to speak to a supervisor and am placed on hold. 15 minutes later the phone system hangs up on me.
- I call back and ask to speak to a supervisor again. I also ask the cs rep "have you had other customers complain about getting hung up on after waiting on hold for a long time". Her reply was simply "oh yes". I am put on hold again for a supervisor. About 10 minutes later I get a supervisor on the phone and she asks if she can call me back on my cell because the phone is cutting out (duh, that's why I'm calling), so I give her my phone number. As she's hanging up, she says "I'll call you right back".
- Approximately 2 hours later she finally calls my cell phone and explains that her supervisor came to her desk and then she forgot about it. She first tells me Tuesday is the earliest appt and then after I explain that I do not want to wait that long she makes an appt for the next day, Sunday between 10 - 2.
Sunday, 8/27/06
- Tech shows up around 12:30. He takes diagnostics on the line and tells me that I have a high amount of noise on the line. He checks the signal outside my apartment and says that the problem is not in my apartment but on my whole floor. He says that they will need to come replace the equipment, but the earliest they can come out is Tuesday. I ask if someone can call me on Tuesday after it is repaired to check that my service is functioning normally, and he tells me that it is not possible and that I will have to call customer service to validate the work has been done.
Tuesday, 8/29/06
- I still experience the same problems the entire day.
Wednesday, 8/30/06
- I call customer service and they tell me the work had been completed yesterday. I tell them it has not fixed my issue and they tell me I will need to have another tech come out to fix the problem. I tell them I need an appointment asap. They try to schedule an appt for several days later (I can't remember when) and I again ask to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor makes an appt for the following day, between 8 and 12. She also tells me that they are opening a client relations case (something that happens when a customer calls a lot) and someone from that dept should call me. I NEVER receive a call from anyone in the client relations department.
Thursday, 8/31/06
- Tech shows up at 12:30, which is 30 minutes after the scheduled window. He takes diagnostics and says everything looks fine. I tell him to try my phone if he thinks everything is working fine. He tries to use my phone and there is no dial tone. I tell him that's one of the issues, and if he just unplugs the modem and plugs it back in it'll work again. He does and it works. He decides to replace the modem. After switching in the new modem, the new one does not come online. After a few minutes he calls someone on his two way radio and the operator yells at him that the system is being upgraded and tells him to LEAVE. The tech tells me he must leave but that he is sure my problem will be fixed when the modem comes online. I tell him I am not happy that he is leaving because he has not verified my problem is fixed. I ask for his name (Diako Elhadj) and ask if he can call me later to verify that my problem is fixed and I give him a piece of paper with my name and cell phone number. He says sure, he will call me. He never calls.
- Meanwhile, I am now left without internet and phone service while the modem is off.
- At 3:30 my internet service comes back, but not the phone.
- At 5:00 my phone service comes back, but I'm still having the same exact problems.
- At 5:30 I call customer service for help. She runs the same basic diagnostics that have been run each time I call. She asks me to reset my modem and tells me to call 611 to get the phone department directly if it's not fixed after the reset (since the reset is going to drop our phone call).
- The reset did not fix the problem. At 6:00, I call 611. The cs rep tells me to unplug the internet connection from my router and plug it directly into my pc because he claims the router is causing interference with the phone. He then instructs me to reset the modem and says he will call me back in 15 minutes to verify the voice quality. This was at 6:08 p.m.
- At 6:25 the cs rep calls back and hears that the problem is not fixed. He tells me I need an appt for a tech to come out. I tell him I want someone that can fix my problem since I wasn't able to get it fixed the first 3 visits. He tells me the best he can do is have a client relations person call me the next day. I ask to speak to a supervisor.
- After 20 minutes on hold I get a supervisor. She tells me that I really need to have someone come out to check the wiring. She cannot make an appt at that time because she is having a problem with her computer. She confirms my cell phone number and tells me she'll call me back shortly. I ask for her name (Judy). She calls me back after 1 minute to tell me that she can't make the appt tonight because the computer problems but that she'll call me tomorrow morning by 9:00 a.m. for an appt that day. Judy never calls me.
Friday, 9/01/06
- 10:35: Judy has not called to schedule an appt. I call 611 and get a cs rep. I explain that I need an appt. for today. He makes me an appt for Monday (Labor day) from 8 - 12 a.m. and tells me he will try to get an earlier appt. I ask for an advanced tech, someone that can fix my problem because the other techs could not, and he tells me this person is called a foreman at Time Warner. He indicates it would take longer to get an appt. with a foreman and advises I take the appt. for Monday. He also says he will send the diagnostics from the phone call with him to IT to analyze because he could definitely hear my voice breaking up repeatedly. He says that IT may do some things to fix it and that I should give it 48 business hours (till end of day Wednesday since this is a holiday weekend) and let them know if it is not fixed at that time. He also tells me he will ask client relations to give me a call. The call ends at 11:02.
- 12:00: I call Verizon and sign up for their phone and internet service. I'm done with Time Warner.

The Saga Continues
Posted by
Patience running on fumes
HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA -- It shouldn't be this hard for a cable company to install cable!
First of all, when I contacted Time Warner Cable to inquire about digital cable, phone, and internet installation, I asked if I would need a receiver box for every TV in my home. The service representative said all that was required was an amplifier and everything would be set. I made the appointment for installation. I was told to expect someone from 9:30am to 11:00am.
At 11:25 the day of the appointment (Wednesday), I received a call stating that the technician was running behind and would arrive between 12:00 to 12:15pm. He installed the phone and internet services, but then informed me that I needed an amplifier (I already knew this, and would've thought he would, too), but he 'didn't have one on the truck' and would return Thursday to finish the job. He acquired my phone number and said he'd call before he returned. Good customer service would dictate the technician to give priority to any job left incomplete the day before. For this reason, I expected to see him Thursday MORNING.
When it was 4:15 in the afternoon and I still had not seen or heard from the technician, I called to find out if he would arrive soon. The lady I spoke with put me on hold so she could ask him what was going on. When she came back on the line, she said that he was finishing up his last job of the day, then he'd be right over. He arrived around 5:00pm, amplifier in hand. He went to hook up the amplifier he'd brought, but wouldn't you know it- it DID NOT WORK. He said, "This a brand-new one, right out of the box. I knew I should brought more than one with me. This happens to me all the time." I found myself thinking that if such is the case, why had he arrived unprepared, but I said nothing to the effect. Instead, when he promised he'd 'be back tomorrow', I told him that now that I knew he'd come, I wouldn't call again.
Once again, I sat at home ALL DAY Friday, waiting patiently, but when it was 6:30pm and I still had not received any calls and he wasn't there, I decided I had been patient enough. I called to find out what was going on. I was informed by customer service that the technician was finished working for the day, but the representative put me on hold to call him. When she came back on the line, she apologized and said that the technician had not turned in the work order, so they had no record that my cable installation remained incomplete, and that the equipment warehouse had already closed for the day. I wasn't too happy about that, but I didn't want to take my frustration out on the rep, so I agreed to wait until this morning (Saturday) for installation to be done. The technician who arrived this morning was a different guy (which I must say pleased me). He installed the amplifier, gave me an instructional book for the DVR, and was on his way before I could check the other televisions to be sure everything was working as it should.
I cannot believe I have to report this, but it turns out the lady who said I only needed an amplifier was wrong! I DO need a receiver for each additional TV, and this would wind up costing me an additional $22.50 per month than I was originally set to pay!!
I will be calling Time Warner Cable on Monday to see what needs to be done, but for now, consider yourselves warned... and as for me, the saga continues.

Not satisfied with installation
Posted by
INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA -- So I'm a customer and have been for quite some time now. 2 years ago time Warner got very expensive so we cancelled our cable and went to Dish. We still kept our phone and Internet. Dish got us with contract and then all of a sudden we were paying $80 for cable alone. I saw the ad for the 3 package bundle for Time Warner and decided to go back to cable with them. The sales representative was real nice they got me the deal. My issue now is with installation. I had to go into a Time Warner location because of a system issue 2 weeks ago and set up an installation date. I went in on a Wednesday and the earliest installation they had was the Thursday after. I accepted it but then the day before installation I had to reschedule. The next one wa scheduled for Wednesday from 3-4pm (today). Then I get a call from my mom saying Time Warner never came. I call Time Warner and I go off on them because 1. I'm coming from another provider for them, 2. I had a scheduled installation and no one came, and 3. It's almost been 3 weeks since we originally agreed to install. And what happens? Oh "sorry ma'am the next available day is Monday at 3pm." I had cancelled Dish specifically on Tuesday so Time Warner could install on Wednesday. And no one shows up. The representative goes on how his supervisor called dispatch and nothing is available until then but if anything comes up the will call me. What am I supposed to watch for the next week? Is it hard for you to request a special inquiry as your last installment after all appointments? I am dissatisfied with time Warner right now. I'm glad I got the 3 bundle deal but the fact that I had to wait almost 3 weeks for installation and whoever scheduled me for today screwed up really makes me want to just not be a customer anymore.

WAR Hunt.
But Bigfoot would be served well to take this fight to the ground ASAP.
WAR Hunt.
But Bigfoot would be served well to take this fight to the ground ASAP.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
I've got Hunt. He's improved his TDD, still has a solid chin, and can easily connect worse than DC or Cain did. On top of that, I think Silva's last two wins were fairly odd and, while showed heart, showed that he still has bad holes in his striking defense.
On the other hand, if Silva gets Hunt clinched, especially against the cage, I could see him getting the sub. I think a lot of it will come down to how much Hunt has left in his training commitment after these surgeries.
Bigfoot by dominant top game.
Silva via cage work and ground and pound
Silva may win this one. Obviously if he keeps it standing he will lose very quickly.
But if he manages to take Hunt to the ground, he can win.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Man i've wanted to see this fight for ages but thought it would never happen after Hunt said he'd only think about fighting Bigfoot if it was for a title since they're training partners. Do they not train together anymore or are they just gonna have a good ol' friendly scrap for us Aussies? Either way......... fucking psyched

Video: Fifth Gear takes a crack at the Honda CR-Z
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Apr 26th, 2010 at 12:58PM
So far in early drives of the new 2010 CR-Z hybrid coupe, Honda's latest has been getting decidedly mediocre to middling reviews. It's not really quick enough to be a proper sports car and not efficient enough to be considered a challenger to the Toyota Prius or even its sibling, the slow-selling Insight. In other words, it's a big bundle of compromises. And yet, a lot of reviewers have said that despite the CR-Z being slow and only modestly efficient, it's still fun-to-drive in its own way. In much the same manner, the kids at Fifth Gear have published their own video review of the CR-Z... Read More
