      NBC Stations Will Ditch Time Warner Cable Unless They See Some Cash

      Cable companies compensate most of the channels they offer, sharing a portion of the money they get from subscribers with the individual stations— but apparently Time Warner Cable doesn't share the wealth with broadcast networks —- and Austin, TX NBC affiliate KXAN is having none of it. They want some money! More »

    • This Time Warner Cable repairman dropped everything and rushed a child who was having a seizure to a local hospital in his company van.
      "I ran out of the house with my baby in my arms," said Joshua's mom, Evelyn Rodriguez, 27, of Woodside. "I had to make it to the hospital." Audain, a Time Warner Cable repairman, was on the sidewalk heading to his company van Aug. 28 when he heard Rodriguez screaming for help. "My brain wasn't registering what was happening at the time," Audain, 27, said Saturday. "There was a child involved. I had no time to think."

      Man Files Antitrust Suit Against Time Warner Over Forced Cable Box Rentals

      Matthew Meeds of Fairway, Kansas, doesn't want to pay Time Warner Cable a monthly rental fee for his cable box—he'd rather own one outright. He's filed suit against the cable provider and its parent company, Time Warner, Inc., accusing them of establishing an illegal tying arrangement by making the box rental a condition of the subscription agreement. He's seeking class-action status for all TWC premium customers in Kansas. More »

      Time Warner Cable Customers Can't Play World Of Warcraft

      Update: The Director of Digital Communications at Time Warner Cable has responded.

      We don't play World of Warcraft, but if we did, it looks like we'd have to cancel Time Warner Cable and install FIOS in order to guarantee a connection to Blizzard's servers. That's what some East Coast WoW players are saying—they've been suffering disconnections and game-killing lags for months now, and Time Warner Cable seems unable to solve the problem. They swear they're not doing anything to disrupt or throttle gamers, and say that "customers who are having problems on the local level should contact customer service." Based on the 24-page thread on Blizzard's forums, TWC's customer service has yet to resolve the issue. More »
