Most of my old OSU roomies that still live in C-Bus have switched to U-Verse and they love it. You may want to check it out.

I'm glad that Comcast landed this deal, but I am still hopeful that the new AT&T network U-Verse will be in my area in time for the season. Half the time my Comcast stations don't come in....

So that U-Verse is available off campus? I currently have TW and will be moving in early September to my new apartment. All I'm looking for is BTN. Screw TW, that whole situation is rubbish.

you can check availability on the AT&T website. If it's not avail. in your part of columbus, you can request (on the website) info/email be sent to you when it is.

Sounds about right, but if you ask TW they will tell you they are working on a deal, even though they will also tell you that they are not in current talks to carry it. |

I like TW service, the cable and High Speed internet can't be any better. Sure it is more expensive than other companies and because of this we should have BTN. TW is just being dumb about this whole thing.
TW better bring me BTN soon

Who knows. The picture you paint in the press is simply part of the negotiation process. It can be done in a couple of weeks if they come to terms. |

I think a TWC rep said that the Comcast deal will not affect the negotiating. TWC is acting like some stubborn brats or something. I have TWC and get p*ssed every time I read an article about the two working out a deal.  Big Ten came down 40 cents for Comcast. If the same offer is made with the one year deal on basic with the chance to move to a sports tier and TWC doesn't take, I'm done. |
