If we had other cable providers offered where we live, we'd go with them! TWC has done nothing good for us! They keep raising our bills. We don't want to switch to dish, but we are thinking that would be the best option. (read more)

“The Worst Customer Service Ever!!!!”
Written on: 06/02/2013
This is a company I want to walk in and go "cable" on them! Unbelievable! You call to change your service and you get the "deterrents" who transfer you to other states after being on hold for 20 plus minutes. Then you call back and start all over with the "deterrent" again. AND if you need to remove a service...FORGET IT! Good luck with the famous "deterrents" transferring you to the other famous place called the "retention center"! OMG! They make everything soooo difficult! Easiest... (read more)

I have had Time Warner for a while now and I have had so many problems.. I have had to have my modem replaced 4 times because of a lagging connection. The cable channels are getting cut back so there is not much to watch anymore. The only thing that keeps me with the company is the price and the fact that where I live, I cannot have dish. There customer service is mediocre, ( at least they speak English ) On a good note you have unlimited internet, some of other companies limit your online... (read more)

“Why So Many Low TWC Cable TV Ratings?”
Written on: 20/10/2012
I'm a little skeptical with all the one star reviews for TWC. For the most part I don't think they are much different than other TV providers. Time Service Used: The last time I used Time Warner Cable TV I used them for over 1 year. Customer Service: I'm happy with the customer service I get (I use them for broadband now), and don't remember having any issues with customer service when I had tv. If I need to call them, they are helpful. I'm not sure what else can be said. It is what it... (read more)

“TIME WARNER HAS THE WORST SERVICE. ”
Written on: 22/07/2012 by Quincey31
Long term customer. Constant problems at two locations. Almost daily technical issues with either the picture, cable box or the connection. DVR would not record shows. Their technical service department only knows to tell us to unplug the cable box and Plug it back in. Other than that they know nothing and they make u wait till the middle of next week to come out and fix the problem. I'm switching to satellite. This is so obscured. No need for this type of drama. It's not like their stupid... (read more)

“friendly salesperson, until you say "no, thank you"”
Written on: 06/04/2012
We had TWC in the past, but due to poor customer service and intermittent internet connection, we switched to another provider. Today we had a salesman from TWC come to the door to "win us back as customers". The offer sounded good enough; lower bill, more channels, some extras, even a Visa gift card. But then I felt uncomfortable as he wanted my driver's licence, an old cable bill, and kept hinting that he would like to come in the house. I have 3 little ones under the age of 5 and I...

This is the Worse company ever period. It don t get any worse than TWC. Why, and how can I say this? The answer is simple. I never ordered cable from them. And yet I am charged every Month for cable I never agreed to. They charged me last Month , and then the following Month, and guess what? That s right folks I get billed this Month also, and I will forever get billed by this greedy company, because they want to torture their customers, and that s the only reason I can come up with besides...

We switched to TW, roadrunner after finding out our previous ISP added unauthorized charges to our bill. This is the first time I have been in an area with only two ISP choices, gotta say, it's pretty awful. TimeWarner was easy to sign on with and came out withing 5 days, great tech, good work. Now on to the bad. The service is terribly intermittent, I play online video games and can only pick up a solid connection @2or3 AM. They are throttling down the speed badly here in daytime/evening... (read more)

I have been a customer of Time Warner cable for a little while. I called to time warner about a month ago to verify the channels I supposed to have. What did I find in my bill this month? A charge for a package I "supposedly" agrred to add. Interesting considering I only called to inquire about my current package and lineup. The Customer Rep said I might have misundertood when I called. How convenient!! You call for an inquiry, the add charges, and then they blame you?? Worst service ever!!... (read more)

The physical address of Time Warner doesn't matter; the whole of their company is the same no matter the service locations.
What an unbelievable shifty company this is. *First off don't go to digital if you haven't yet, and I highly suggest using a different provider or not having any cable television at all.
Okay so we switched to digital, and of course it costs more for two reasons: they charge $11 more per month to just have digital, and you can't have it in more than one room without...

Written on: 19/01/2011
Our experience with Time Warner has been horrible. To begin with, their service was not good. We had the home bundle with internet, cable and phone. The internet was extremely slow in the evenings (we had the highest speed available); the cable frequently went out or stopped working; DVR would not record correctly. We felt like the cost was high for the product, yet they were the only service available in our area--felt like they were taking advantage of the fact that they had no... (read more)

Poor service. I would not recommend to anyone. When we signed up with them 6 months ago, part of the offer was $150 gift card, which now they refuse to send to us. First they told us that they would do so after 3 months of contract. WHen we called them today they backed out and gave us ridiculous reasons why they will not send the gift cards. We had bad experience with them 10 years ago, got rid of AOL and now we will use first offer to get rid of Time Warner again. Bunch of liars! Never again. (read more)

WORST customer service we've ever experienced in our lives. We've been lied to, had bills blamed on taxes (like taxes can increase $5 each month come on!), and interrupted by reps on the phone. We were given a rate, promised for 1 year, then all of sudden we get an increase. We were told the lower rate was correct, then 5 minutes later told no it is the higher rate, then minutes later told it will go up again next month, and the next day told it already went up again!

After a full year of spotty service (constant drops in internet, sometimes for days at a time) they tried to scam me for "unreturned equipment" because their technician never made the pickup appointment I made. They then sent a collection agency after me only 10 days after I closed the account (I was in good standing the whole time)! I finally found the number to the office of the president.

When changing our Time Warner Cable and Internet Service(which we had been subscribing to for the past 2 years) the customer service rep suggested we close out the old subscription and start a new service because it would be cheaper than a transfer. We said sure, who would not want to save a buck or two in this economy. They said to have the old... (read more)

The service itself is absolutely horrible. The "new and improved" DVR box is an absolute joke. First of all, it doesn't record when you tell it to. It's slow and the box doesn't respond to the remote signal on time at all. I HATE IT.
Our "high speed" internet goes out ALL OF THE TIME! We constantly have to reset the modem. I work from home and need a reliable internet connection. I can't tell you how many days I have missed work because of the internet acting up. So frustrating!

HORRIBLE customer service with incompetent "supervisors"
Initially had called Time Warner for a temporary service suspension while my apt underwent minor renovations... ended up cancelling my entire service after such poor customer support. TW also tried to charge me an extra week even though service was disconnected bc TW hadn't picked up the cable boxes yet.
Sorry, Time Warner, I'll take my $260/month and apply it towards Verizon services. Thanks.

I have had Time Warner Cable Basic TV service (channels 2-77 at present)for more than 20 years and have never had a problem that was not resolved in a timele manner. I am, therefore, extremely satisfied with the services.
Would I recommend TWC to a friend? But of course. In fact, I have done so on many occasions. Pay your TWC bills on time, or in advance, and you will continue to enjoy excellent, reliable and professional services.

Now they are saying the problem is the outside wires.
They are horribly backed up because lots of people have problems with their service. You have to wait 3 weeks to get an appointment....

I ordered service and they will come to install phone, cable and TV in 14 days. They charged me on the day of ordering the service, before even having the installation. It sound to me unfair to pay more than 2 weeks before I even had the service. Other providers are usually charging at the end of the month of service. From the beginning, even before having service- it seems to be an unfair business done by Time Warner.
