Charter wants to buy TWC


Ja  Rhule

Recommended Posts

Charter filed for Bankruptcy 4 years ago and now they want to by TWC. They also don't have cash so they want to use their shares as part of purchase. TWC told em no so now Charter is trying to persuade shareholders to act. Shareholders ask for more cash upfront so Charter will try to get a loan for additional $30 billion. If this to happen, TWC will become Charter and Charter will be crazy in debt. This debt will trickle down to customers... Like u and me. About 5k jobs will be lost in Carolina's.

TWC lost 500,000 customers in last quarter so it's very possible this might just happen.

What is the biggest reason people prefer cable over DirecTV?

 

I have to be honest, I switched to DirecTV about 12 years ago, never looked back and couldn't be happier. Even when I moved from VA to NC last year, instead of transferring my account and changing my billing info, they set up an entirely new account and gave me all the new account promos, free NFL Sunday Ticket among others.

 

And when I called them a couple months after the move and told them I wasn't yet back to work and would have to cut back on some of my programming, they reduced a bunch of the rates for packages and knocked about $60 a month off my bill.

 

If there ever was another service provider, whether it be ISP, cell phone, utilities, whatever... DirecTV has been the best by a mile when it comes to taking care of the customer in my case anyway.

I have Charter and it's a love hate relationship. 

 

I am paying $60 a month for high speed internet but I hate the fact that they are the only game in town. How in the hell is there only 1 ISP in my neighborhood (Southern California)? I would love to try FIOS with Directv so I can pair DirecTv with my cellphone (Verizon) but suck ass Charter is my only option.

Charlotte is a regional office..corporate is in New York.

All the cable companies work together to basically price fix.....same company different name. I hate TWC but they have been oddly good to me the last year in a half...not sure what happened. I am sure it will change soon enough.

 

Yep.  And it's an unspoken rule that they never invade each other's turf.

 

They get around antitrust rules because there's satellite.

Hasn't the FCC and the gov't basically deregulated the entire industry to the point they can about do whatever they want and, much like mob families, have agreed to divide the pie so there's enough to keep everyone happy?

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
