TimeWarner Behaving Badly

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I’m not aware of anyone who loves their cable company, and yet we put up with a lot of the baloney service deficits in order to get our favorite TV shows.  They’re definitely not corporations organized to make the user experience better, but now TimeWarner has taken the lead in abusing their customers.

Their arrogance began with attempting to impose bandwidth caps on internet usage, set so low that anyone wanting to play online games or download movies would hit them.  Now, they’re trying to legislate local fiber out of existence in North Carolina, even though they refused to provide it themselves when asked.  Moderately interesting, if predictably tech-head, discussion on Slashdot.
