Time Warner Cable Greedy for money

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I looked at our recent bill for Time Warner and guess what? We had a new line on our bill, it said: "Transfer/Balance" and was for $40 something. I called them and complained to find out what the hell the charge was actually for. Turns out they found an old account of ladys from 16 years ago. wtf.

I told the guy:

"Thanks, I just wanted to make sure the charge was legitimate. So you're telling me that Time Warner is either greedy for cash or struggling so badly for money that they have to search 16 year old records for loose change. That boosts my confidence in this company."

why are time Warner billing you anyways?

In the UK all they are is a production company, hell 1/2 the population wouldn't recognize the name

TW is our net/phone/cable tv provider

they have a monopoly here

More like a Duopoly if you count Comcast. From what I can tell they don't compete with eachother... They just take certain areas & makes sure no one else can compete with them in that area.

I wouldn't even say Duopoly ... Verizon's picking up speed on popularity for their package because of the lure in FIOS. Heck, I'd jump from RoadRunner (TWC's isp) to FIOS if it were available in my apartment. Comcast is a big player in NJ, TWC in NY, racing close is Verizon.

I'm actually giving away my cable box and such, 50 bucks plus taxes is a lot when I have the option of Hulu. But, I'll miss some shows for sure. I'll get it back on when and if my dad visits in late September, and disconnect once he leaves end of October or mid Nov till the billing cycle comes to an end.
