Time Warner is no more...

Hope ya like Comcast.

$45.2 billion purchase.

 

I had Comcast down in Florida. All cable companies suck, but their customer service is absolute poo.

Bad for Charlotte... Time Warner has thousands of employees and probably most will lose their jobs.

Comcast does not have the workforce to replace all the TWC employees. Most will likely be able to keep their jobs unless Comcast restructures everything and wants to pay them less, work them more....

 

Regardless, Comcast has been crap for a long time, customer service is absolutely horrible. Last time I had cable- about 12 years ago- it was Comcast and it was total poo.

Comcast is building 60 story building in Philly. I think they were preparing for this.

I read that Comcast has better technology and high ratings in customer service now. Time warner is near the bottom in that area.

Anyway my Dad and another good friend work for Time Warner Cable. Hoping this isn't bad for them.

this is devastating for those of us who download alot.  Comcast will come with download caps with overage fees.

My wife works for TWC. They call it synergies on wallstreet aka laying people off. Comcast CEO said he will increase company synergies right after merger is complete aka many people will be shown the door in Charlotte area.

I had comcast internet when I lived in DC. They included the ESPN channels with their internet package. With TWC you have to have cable before you can stream those channels. Hopefully that hasn't changed because I don't have cable through TWC.

Had Comcast in Michigan was better than Time Warner.

Yea comcast is going to lay abunch of people off in the area and replace some of them eventually in philly. Comcast hates downloaders and movie watchers as well and cap downloads at a few gigs a month then they both slow your internet down and charge you overages.

It'll be a year out before this settles.  If then.

Not like cable companies compete against each other. 

 

[Salvo]

Comcast is dreadful.

 

The only thing that's decent is their internet and that's if they don't cap (which they don't in my area). Everything else about them is crap. This move to monopolize even more will only make it worse on the consumer.
