Time Warner Cable Strikes Again!


I came home from work a little while ago to find that my cable box is fried. I've tried rebooting, but nothing - it isn't getting any juice at all. Everything else is working, just not the cable box. I don't even want to call Time-Warner, because they won't be able to get here until September or October - at the earliest.

Of course this HAS to happen on a Wednesday, when I was looking forward to watching Top Chef Masters. Grumble, grumble, grumble...


UPDATE: No cable until Saturday morning ... when Time-Warner PROMISES to show up. I'm not holding my breath.

    Going to the dentist
    Religious fundamentalists
    Jackhammers
    Leaf blowers
    People who walk 3 or 4 across on the sidewalk
    Parking on the sidewalk
    People that don’t pick up their dog poop
    Talking during a movie
    Inappropriate cell phone use
    Crazy, berserk, fact challenged conservative Christians
    Having exotic wild animals as pets
    Carl Rove
    Dolls
    Nazis
    Puppets
    Full price retail
    Syringes
    Racism * sexism * homophobia
    Vomit
    Waiting in line
    Comcast (although I do nothing about it)
    Not using your turn indicator
    People who don’t vote
    Michael Vick
    Steak Houses
    Cockroaches
    Really loud music emanating from souped-up automobiles
    Job hunting (I tend to stay at jobs for a long time… I am at 7 years with my current company)
    Bathrooms on airplanes
    Rashes
    The Bush Family
    Theme parks
    Winter in the PNW

    Do you have any other cable company you can use? Or is that it for New York City? If there is girl you soooooooooooooo need to switch. I never seen so many problems with one company.

    if it's just the box, you can take it to the walk-in center on 23rd and Park and they will give you a new one-no charge.

    So far on Top Chef Masters the ones I've wanted to win have won. I feel so fortunate. Tonight's winner is edging up close to Hubert in my heart.

    I LOVE that Google ads is shilling Time Warner under this post.

    I'll agree with the other commenters. Comcast is pretty bad. We've had good luck with AT&T, but I miss my SureWest.

    Oh dear sweet baby jesus, not again! Seriously, you should figure out how many times you've had to call them and how many days you've been without service and demand to speak with a supervisor or regional manager. Tell them you are sick of such SUCKY service and if they don't have someone out within 24 hours, you're calling the NY State Public Service Corporation http://www.fcc.gov/wcb/iatd/state_puc.html
