VZW FiOS won't come here because of Frontier which is also why TWC can bend us over backwards and take our money. All I have is digital cable (no movies or sports), 1 DVR box and Road Runner and I pay almost $120/mo. How insane is that. For us in Rochester were not so lucky.

All I'm subscribed to is high speed broadband and digital telephone. Why should an increase in tv programming affect me? Besides that, I have been recording all the downtime since November of last year. TWC owes me 76 hours of cable time. I’ve been with TWC for a little over a year and a half.

I got the notice of the rate increase and switched immediately! They're cheaper and they have a better picture, more channels, and a MUCH FASTER internet!! If you get the chance, switch now!!

My Digital pac (digipic1000) went from $38.05 to $64.60!!! I have digital cable, telephone and internet. I am definitely exploring other options. TWC is outrageous......I'm in eastern Ohio.

I called in Sept. and was put on another 2 year promo with one 5% increase after 1 year. Seems the CS rep. screwed it up and it expired again in Dec. I still think that some kind of warning should be standard before they send you a bill with a $46 increase. The rep I spoke to this time, blamed it on computers. (mise well have blamed it on the sun). What still ticks me off, is without the contract I can't get down close to what I was paying. The intersting part is my promo expired in Sept.

Stay tuned for some strategies you and others can take to negotiate away the rate hike. I hear you. Stay tuned for some strategies you and others can take to negotiate away the rate hike.

I dropped Showtime/TMC and Starz last year and never missed them. I keep HBO for Bill Maher... for now. Frankly, this house spends most of its time watching MSNBC, CNN, HGTV, Food, Science, History, and the local channels. I could dispense with 90% of the lineup and never miss it.
