Time Warner Cable continues to focus most of its attention this year on North Carolina for Maxx upgrades, today announcing the cities of Greensboro and Wilmington will be the next upgraded to get up to 300Mbps broadband service.

The conversion to all-digital cable television in both communities will begin this fall followed by free broadband speed upgrades anticipated by early 2016.

Although Time Warner Cable claims 45 percent of its customers will have access to TWC Maxx Internet speeds by the end of this year, the cable company has continued to completely ignore its northeastern and midwestern service areas, except New York City. No upgrades have been announced in Massachusetts, Maine, Upstate New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, Kentucky, or South Carolina. Time Warner also operates smaller systems in several other states not scheduled for upgrades either.

Most of Time Warner’s attention this year is focused on Texas and North Carolina, where it is upgrading customers in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Charlotte, and Raleigh. San Diego and Hawaii are also getting upgrades.

Time Warner Cable has suggested it may continue announcing new cities scheduled for upgrades, but if Charter successfully acquires the company, Charter officials have only committed to completing Maxx upgrades in cities already announced by Time Warner before the acquisition is approved. If the acquisition is rejected by regulators, Time Warner Cable will continue its Maxx upgrade program, likely reaching all of its service areas within the next two or three years.
