Re: Saturday Appointments

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.
