Bye, bye Time Warner Cable.

As of today, the Charter cable company officially owns Time Warner Cable and another operator, Bright House, thanks to a $65 billion mega merger.

They will slowly be phasing out Time Warner's name over the next 4 months. After that time, Time Warner will disappear.

I'm looking for a new Internet provider, but no one will recommend any provider, or so it seems!

I've had multiple cable television/internet providers over the years and the saddest fact in America is that of every cable/internet provider I have had, Comcast was the best.

That is not a statement on how wonderful Comcast is but is actually a statement on how bad cable/internet service is in America, That Comcast would be the best is disgusting.
