Title sums it up. I really dont have much of a choice when it comes to ISP's (i live in a semi rural area, fios isnt out in my neighborhood yet)and i keep hearing about how TWC is bad.
Now, i know im one out of a crapload of people using TWC, and to be honest, i have had decent experiences with them, speeds were pretty good for what i used them for anyhow, so can anyone tell me why TWC is so bad?
And yes, i know theyre are better ISP's out there, but like i said, i dont have much of a choice, as i live in a semi rural area.

~i dont run away from you....i walk slowly and it kills me that you dont care enough to stop me......You think this is truly the end hero NAH it has only just begun!
I'm forced with either Verizon's 3Mbps or Time Warner's 10 Mbps, and I chose TWC. They're OK I guess. Some days are really bad though, one day my speeds were 500 Kbps, but most days are fine.
In terms of customer service, they suck. All my calls with them have been unhelpful, and it seems all they want to do, is get me to upgrade my plan to a far more expensive one.

I never did post a lot, but now I'm leaving forever. This forum in general is a joke, with the crappy mods, handing out infractions like nobody's business, and just being plain stupid. There's that and there's the amount of stupidity that members hold nowadays. XDA Developers and OCN here I come!

I can see where you are coming from, ATT crap verse, basically they told me "Well, we will take your money,m but we cant really say when your services will be restored"

When I used to have TWC... it seems like during the summer, during almost every afternoon, it seems like they stop their service or something... or it malfunctions every single time.

I'm pretty much in the same boat, only verizon is completely unavailable here (I think they're just now becoming available though). They're not awful, but they're not great either, but then again pretty much all ISPs are the same way.
So basically most people do have ok experiences is what im seeing, am i right/wrong here?

TWC based on region can be bad. I recently moved to the West coast and was in hope of keeping my TWC account (since on the East coast, the speed was great) turned out TWC does not like the West Coast that much, and I had to make the switch to Comcast.
I am satisfied with my recent change faster speeds for far less on the packages.
you guys must have suck ass TWC cause the one in my town is awesome a couple of my friends have it and they get almost 18-24 mbps for like $30 or 40 or something like that xD

Google search much? Time Warner Cable
Also I have Bright House (same thing as TWC) and it's decent, but pretty expensive. But I guess there isn't any cheaper service in our area anyway.
