Wealth Has Its Privileges – Time Warner Cable Unveiling $189-199 Package for Ultra-Premium Customers
If you have nearly $200 a month burning a hole in your pocket that you’d be willing to give Time Warner Cable for a cable-TV, phone and broadband package, have we got a deal for you.
Time Warner Cable is completing a test of its Cadillac cable plan for ultra-premium customers in Charlotte, N.C. Dubbed “Signature Home,” the plan targets the cable company’s biggest spenders with a deluxe package of cable television, phone, Road Runner Wideband high speed Internet, two premium whole-home DVR units, and a wireless home network. Customers in Charlotte paid $179.95 a month for the service during the test. One of the conclusions apparently reached — Time Warner was not charging enough. As the service goes national, its price will increase by $10 a month for some, $20 for others, topping out just a nickel shy of $200 a month before taxes and fees.
For that price, customers get just about everything Time Warner Cable offers, except premium movie channels:

Time Warner Cable expects to unveil the service in other areas of the country in a matter of weeks.
CEO Glenn Britt told Bloomberg News the targeted packages of services are designed to retain different classes of customers.
“If this were a BMW this would be the 750 IL, with all the whiz-bang things,” said Britt. “It’s our package with everything we have to offer and a different service experience all wrapped up in one.”

does anyone know when the Signature service will be launched in the Southern Wake County area which is in the Raleigh/Durham market for Time Warner cable.
thanks.
