My service has been intermittent for the past 36 hours and counting. Initially, every fifteen minutes I would experience a one-minute blackout. Now it's down to every four minutes. It is actually worse than being blacked out completely. This, unfortunately, is just the straw that broke the camel's back. The customer service that you offer is as bad as I have ever experienced."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/twline.jpg" /> <br /><br />Apparently it doesn't matter if you live on the remote island of Molokai, or the not so remote island of Manhattan. Time Warner Cable has some serious customer service issues, from quality of service to hardware problems. Worse still is the fact that when you have a problem, the time it takes to get a response is abysmal. What customers need is an alternative. Perhaps the government needs to step in and do something to promote more competition. As it is, consumers are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Thank god, knock on wood, I have no problems with Time Warner's service on my DVR so far in NYC.

Seems to me that Darrell Williams either does not have any idea it could be his box or location, or he just exaggerated.

There is never a time when someone picks up the phone immediately, and your time for answering often can be nearly an hou..

When I first got my box, i had similar problems, but I called around 12 midnight, and the lady picked up the phone immediately, and walked me trhough several steps before agreeing with me that I need to replace the box.. good thing, which led me to getting HD-DVR box. ;)

And I think, it is wiser to go with Satellite dish rather than cable on an island.. after all, where do they think they are getting their cable service from? cables under the sea? :lol:
