I Hate My ISP: Good Riddance Charter / Spectrum / Time Warner Cable

--

I've been ranting about the crap quality of Time Warner Cable for many years. I thought Charter buying them would improve the service. It has not. Instead, the user-abuse has intensified in the form of further outrageously inflated prices in return for poor service and bad attitude.

Therefore, despite the as-yet unknown repercussions, I am DELIGHTED that my state government is booting abusive Spectrum / Time Warner Cable / Charter OUT of NEW YORK! This is We The People sticking it to asinine corporatocracy. At this time, Charter has 60 days to provide the state with a plan to hand over their business to another provider.

Below is a chronological set of links regarding the dirty doings of Time Warner Cable and subsequently Spectrum / Charter. Some of them route back to articles in this blog. Do not be alarmed. They provide further links to relevant timely articles:
