grrrrrr hate time warner

They always screw me over with prices. They tricked me into a 2 year contract which I never agreed to and won't let us leave without paying something. They have nothing signed from me. I never confirmed it. our DVR doesn't work half the time. uggggggh. they tell us we are getting a price, and then the price goes up and it's not what they said.

FH has been on the phone with them for like 2 hours.

Awww....sorry you hate TW so much.

I had TW when I lived with my parents in Queens and I wish I had it back. Now that I live with FH in Nassau, I'm stuck with Cablevision, and I hate how slow his TV guide is. And I despise the fact that I have no cool fitness On Demand channels....I am forced to either go to gym or buy the DVDs.

Sadly, no. FH told me to try finding it, he claimed it was on Cablevision. And while they do have -some- On Demand channels, while I was able to find plenty of old episodes of South Park, I was unable to find anything decent for fitness. And I really hate how my mother calls me and tempts me with her Time Warner. Yes Mom, I know you want me to visit you more often.....

Tell them you are cancelling and switching to vios (whether or not you are). They will immediately put you on with someone with a brain. Tell that person the reasons why you are switching and they will lower your bill immediately.

We did this last year--we don't even HAVE vios in our building!

Re: grrrrrr hate time warner

i worked @ cv for a year.
they're such scam artists its not even funny.
it's a terrible product for an astronomical price.
i quit because working for that company was starting to rot my brain and being unemployed sounded much better.
not even kidding.
to bypass the whole headache here's what we do.
call and ask to speak to disconnect if its not one of the options when you call in.
don't even give the rep a reason until they transfer you.
if you're having problems, they probably aren't going to help, and 19 techs later, it will most likely be worse.
once in disconnect, tell them the prices are outrageous (because they are), you can't afford it and have looked into other options.
they know who else is available in the area- that's how they do their promos.
so if you say verizon, and there's no fios, 9 times out of 10, they won't offer anything.
i'm surprised they even let the above slide who said she got away with it.
its not their business who you're switching to, mention nothing.
the average rep takes 90 calls a day, 80 of which are people threatening to go to verizon.
not to sound like this, but regular customer service doesn't care.
verizon? ok, here's the disco office. they don't get commission, disconnect and sales does, thus, they don't care.
just a tip for those 'stuck' with cable.
the whole time i worked there, we get free cable/internet/phone as a perk. i was still paying almost $200/month to keep my verizon, if that's any indicator to my feelings on the company.

Ditto! They lowered my cable bill and I got my phone for like $5 a month when I called to cancel my home phone service and b!tch about the cable price! But now it's back up again... I'll have to call and complain again soon!

OMG I love TWC!

The guide & DVRs are WAY better & faster than Cablevision!

We had Cablevision in CT and I wanted to SCREAM!

Sorry you're having issues, when in doubt, ask to speak to a manager!

Thanks girls. He seriously spent hours last night just getting passed on. At the end of 2 hours, we told them to cancel and we are switching. Direct or Vios will be sooo much cheaper. I am sick of their BS and overprices and our DVR not working.
