Time Warner Cable has experienced several significant outages this week in different areas of the country. When service conks out, customers are entitled to service credits, but you must request them — they do not come automatically.
The most significant problems:
- Yesterday: Northeastern U.S. — Telephone and broadband service was knocked out for several hours, causing a flood of calls to area newsrooms and clogging up Time Warner’s own call centers;
- This Morning: Ohio — Telephone and broadband service down in many areas.
The easiest and fastest way to request credit is sending a message to Time Warner Cable using their Online E-Mail form, select Billing Inquiry, and send a message like this (edit it as appropriate):
I am writing to request one day service credit for the Internet and phone service outage that occurred in my area yesterday. Please credit my account.
