TW here in Charlotte has offered to come out on Saturdays for me on a number of occassions to address issues.

Usually, though, by the time Saturday rolls around the issue has cleared itself up.
Same here in Greensboro. I even had a tech out at 6am on a SUNDAY for a cable TV issue.

That is why I like Time Warner here so much. If you have an issue, they will have a tech out the VERY NEXT DAY, 7 days a week!

I even got an entire months credit for service one time, ALL my services, internet, phone and cable tv, simply because I kept killing DVR boxes and it took them a few visits to figure out why. I actually eneded up positive 83 dollars an hour x 3 for those visits.

The problem with Time Warner (I've had them at three locations in three cities), is you need to relentlessly harp on them to repair lines.

It took me three months, nine technician visits, and my own assigned Time Warner Case-Worker to get them to replace a line in Queens- which was unshielded and getting a local cab company radio interference. (100% packet loss at nights)

I can't remember how many times I had to call.

The second location it only took a month and four tech visits to run a new line to an apartment complex and replace faulty basement wiring....

The third has been ok so far. However most people can't take that much time off work, or won't be as persistent as I was.

Guess it sucks where you are at but I only had to call once and Time Warner(in Cincinnati, Ohio) was out to me with in a few days. They had to make a new run from my house to the pole but it didn't take them too long. No harping needed.

A friend of mine had Time Warner cable and those morons installed a ground line about 3 inches below the surface. He roto-tilled his lawn and that pretty much destroyed that line.
