Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Fuck TWC.
I checked last night my account billing and what not and realized that I was now "available" for speed upgrade (Maxx) to Ultimate 100 (from 30mbps) for 10$ more a month, so I said YEAH and upgraded.
Get an email this morning "1st attempt please call us about your order", so I call, apparently I CAN'T UPGRADE without upgrading the TV too (had basic, the mister likes to watch all that bravo real housewives of crap), after talking with Billing, Sales, Tech Support (where call dropped several times and had to explain everything at least 5 times) I'm finally put to a 'customer resolution' person, I tell her "You know what? if I can't get the internet upgrade without the tv upgrade, then cancel the TV' and then SUDDENLY it can be done "Oh let me see what I can do! Oh here's the package, basic TV, Ultimate100 internet and phone for 10$ more of what you pay right now!"; I'm FURIOUS fuck 2 and a half hours of this bullshit so I can have the PACKAGE that I had SIGNED UP LAST NIGHT.
Fuckers, I have the calls recorded, 4 calls 2 hours 21 minutes of BULLSHIT. DIAF TWC

Which is exactly why I now have Dish and 30mb service for $80 less than I was paying at TWC for both. To be fair they threw in the phone but I never even hooked it up the 6 months I had it.
Another thing you TWC people need to know is if you have 30mb+ service you are supposed to have free wifi. Mine and many others was being charged. When I dropped the TV, I brought this up and she credited my account for a years charges of $4.95 a month for 12 months.

Yeah, my TWC internet is only $10 a month higher for not bundling it with anything. Seeing as how I save about $40 a month with DirecTV instead of TWC on the television side, it makes no sense to bundle.
I used to pay $208 a month for TWCs biggest channel package(but no movie channels) and the highest internet available to me which is 50Mbps. Now separate, my 50Mbps internet is $75 a month(just went up $5 this month, thanks TWC) but my DTV for the same TV channels is only $90, and its only that high because I'm out of my 2 year contract and don't want to sign another at this point with Google Fiber coming to my town in 2015. For the first year, my DTV was $50 a month, and 2nd year was $60 a month, I was saving HUGE then, but all my promotions just ran out. I'm still saving though, even at $90 a month.

CenturyLink just announced it will be offering 1gb connections at $109 per month, the new service is said to be "symmetrical," meaning its download and upload speeds are about the same. It'll be $80 a month if you bundle with satellite TV and phone.
In addition to the Twin Cities, 12 other U.S. metro areas are getting CenturyLink's gigabit-per-second Internet service, solely for businesses in some places and for both business and homes in others. CenturyLink has already tested this service in Omaha, Neb., Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.
Looks like it's about time I switch back, I already canceled my TV and Phone with comcast a month or so ago and their internet has been pretty shitty as of late. I will gladly pay $109 a month for 1GB with them as I had nothing but great things to say about their 40/60/80mb services here in Minneapolis.

Fiber from them is a brand new thing though. They used to be Qwest, an old phone company, that transitioned to just DSL, so they never had a TV service. They partnered with Dish or DirecTV, so they could offer packages just like Cox does, the local cable company here in Phoenix.
I'd imagine their partnership with DirecTV or DIsh will go away since they are rolling out Fiber and their own TV service.
