I have been a customer since 1993 and I have had nothing but problems , tech supports have not showed up when scheduled, live chat and phone support try to help but they follow a guide with the same solutions that don’t work. I am missing a lot of quality shows because of this and have been for a long time I will get rid of anything to do with your company on Monday.

The last two days has been a nightmare with dealing with TWC on the outage of my three services. I have my 81 yr old mother, who is legally bliind in one eye, living with us and not having any means of communication is not something she have when home.
It seems to me that TWC is all about us paying our bills and raising prices but when it comes to service and have any type of common sense for the elderly they totally miss the mark.
Con Ed and all other services recognize seniors what happen to TWC? They need to get with the program and understand that in this 24/7 world technology is a must to servie.
Now I have been told again that the appointment I was to have at 7pm today was never put in and they now schedule it for 4-6 pm today while I am at work. Hello, they really are missing the issue here. Do they just let their employees leave work at any time they want and pay them for not working????

For the last eight months, I’ve had the misfortune of my cable service being the worst ever. I have spent numerous hours meeting with technicians who cannot resolve the problem, one even stood me up. The cable cable is phasing, pausing, showing digital pixels all of which causes me to miss much of the shows.On this eight month they told me that nothing more can be done, and that the satellite might be SUN PHASING? Problem is the sun is not out at night too. They claim that it started in October 2014, but mine has been doing this for more than eight months.It is amazing how they don’t discount the service according to the degree of trouble, so I’m paying for something I’m not getting.(SOMETHING FOR NOTHING). I now am seeking other service providers who can actually give me what I’m paying for.

To Whom it may Concern,
In the beginning of March I decided to use your internet service so i called your 800 number and and i got a good deal. I was told that in two days i was going to receive my modem with wifi. i waited three days and then i decided to call again where i was informed that some one cancel my service and the operator was professional and apoligize fo rthe mistake you guys comitted. In returned he decided to give me three months of free Leaf something and free wifi for three months, he then also stated that by two days i would get my equiptment so that i can internet, well i waited additional day just in case….When I called to see what had happened I was informed again that my service appeared to have been cancel for the second time and that they would correct the mistake by this time it was Saturday 03/15/14. I then told the operator that i would go the nearest office to pick up the equiptment instead of having it mail, due the couple of experiences i have had with not receiwing my equiptment….So i was told to go to the one in Torrance, CA. 19873 Hawthorne Blvd. Well when I arrived to the location I spoke to Carlos a representative form your company. He told me that i was able to get equiptment due to the fact that it shows that i already have equipment and he can not give it to me again…..At that time he makes me call the 800 number for the third time and i was on the phone for almost two hours going back and forth with the operator and Carlos…..In the end…He said to tell operator to cancel once again the order and that he would do it there….What made me really mad was when he said i had to pay 54 dollars to be able to get equipment…when i was told i did not have to pay for anything..To make things worse I called to complain why i was already getting billed when I did not even have equipment nor service….I already an incident with your company about three year where a technician went to reinstall my equipment to my new Apartment and i was informed by the Operator to give him my old equipment and that they were going to give me a new one……About three months later i was taken to collection for equipment that i did not have any more since the technician had taken it…..Please I know business is not run this way and too want to have business again with you guys after my last experience…I should twice but unfortunately i have no other option….Please tell me what i can do…My number is 310-916-XXXXX
