As part of signing up for the service, you agreed that TWC can alter the channel listing at any time. If you signed up for one of those oh so great Price Lock Guarantees, you'll see that it says it in the contract you agreed to. In the past when I've seen this happen, TWC is more willing to let customers go than budge on a promotion. Instead of trying to wheel and deal your cable lower, try seeing if they'll offer some sort of deal on a faster speed of internet.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div

I'd be more than happy with basic cable plus maybe ten channels (Comedy, Food, Sci-Fi, FX, TCM, TNT, the ESPNs, off the top of my head).</p><p>I don't need Speedvision or Golf channel, you morons.  Why am I paying $50 for Sixty channels i don't watch?  Well, I'm not, for long.

I will miss some comedy central shows, but I can get most of them online as well. The only thing Cable has going for it is it's technical reliabilty versus dish or At&amp;T.

Even here in upstate New York, Dish has proven itself to be more reliable than cable.  To believe otherwise is to accept the Time-Warner anti-satellite propaganda at face value.</p><p>Both systems are vulnerable.  Of outages that have been noticeable, however, those with TWC have been more frequent and longer than those with Dish.  Yes, if we get a really hard rainstorm, then Dish goes out for a few minutes.  If we get hungry squirrels, however, TWC goes out until they can get a tech here to check it out.  That's typically a few days.</p><p>I subscribe to Dish for TV and TWC for Internet.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9776069, 'kc2idf')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-9765151\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=491106\"><img        src=\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-491106-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=491106\">NotYou007</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/12/new-years-surprise-for-twc-customers-no-more-comedy-central-mtv-nickelodeon.html#comment-9765151\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2008-12-31T23:10:34-05:00\">December 31, 2008 11:10 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(9765151);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=9765151');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p><p>My daughter is going to be super pissed off.

Of course they pass this on to us. I think the cable companies are providing a service to the providers by distributing the programs for them. There are many more commercials on these channels than even normal network TV. These commercials are our fair share of the cost. Sounds like they want us to pay twice for the same crap.</p><br /><p>If they want the cable companies to pay for the channels allow them to have the choice on the channels and pay the cost. That way we can make the decision.

THAT would be true \"premium\" programming!</p><p>Hey Rupert- how about picking a fight with Concrap and the other gatekeepers? Surely they should pay you much more for your \"fine\" programming!!!</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9786643, 'dweebster')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>    </div>","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-9778965\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\">Syahrul Kalibu    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/12/new-years-surprise-for-twc-customers-no-more-comedy-central-mtv-nickelodeon.html#comment-9778965\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-01-02T16:49:13-05:00\">January  2, 2009  4:49 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(9778965);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=9778965');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>huuu...give back my dora</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9778965, 'Syahrul Kalibu')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","","","","","","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-9809023\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=426004\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=426004\">Nick_Bentley</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/12/new-years-surprise-for-twc-customers-no-more-comedy-central-mtv-nickelodeon.html#comment-9809023\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-01-05T03:44:41-05:00\">January  5, 2009  3:44 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(9809023);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=9809023');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>Viacom's been advertising heavy on the radio that TW dropped all these channels, then gives out Direct TV information, Verizon, and another telling people how they can switch. On the radio spots, Viacom doesn't mention themselves, only to switch away or call TW and demand the channels back. I don't think much of either company at this point.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(9809023, 'Nick_Bentley')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","");
