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?

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
