Nyet, they had a meeting at my work, and it was brought up by several of them. It was "not public knowledge" yet, but they said it was widely known. I assume by the way he said it, it was just waiting on state regulator approval. Most of the Time Warner people I know weren't happy.
The Comcast people came out and installed a wireless cable modem for another meeting, had all the local Comcast., Time Warner, and all the subcontractors out for a breakfast/lunch meeting. This was installed for one of these meetings, and they said it would only be on the bill for 24 hours, then gone for good (we'd never see it), yet their customer service called for a review (how did we like it) then they tried to bill us at the end of the month. They WERE very embarrased. So goes more of my experiences with Comcast.
Do you have a link to that announcement? I hadn't heard that TWC was leaving the KC Metro area.

Stuck with Comcast, who doesn't offer that, and since the change merger is supposed to be happening in the next 9 months, those on Time Warner, will be losing this option.
Time Warner is supposed to be getting all of someplace in Texas, for Comcast getting all of KC metro.

Cable companies unbundling? Unbundling what?
You can just get cable modem now, but they charge you more for that
then
for the basic cable with the cable modem, because they have to
install the
filters to block cable. I just had to go through rigamaroar with
them as I
did basic with modem, and didn't hook up the tv. They wanted to say
I
didn't have the tv and increase my bill by $30 a month, I proved I
had tv
and offered to call the state, and they said "oops".
According to http://www.twckc.com/savingsCalculator/, plain old
internet is
cheaper than internet+TV _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
