I'm a bit surprised Time Warner hasn't reacted more here, but I'm sure that'll come when Google starts reaching more people. So far they've mostly just complained - you can tell is drives them crazy that people are actually excited about a cable/internet provider, when normally people put it up there as a necessary evil.

This may have been posted earlier in the thread so forgive me if Q, but this has been one of TWC's responses. It makes me hate them more.

" Rob is a Time Warner Cable customer, and he's received two really interesting things from them lately. First, a 50% speed boost: they claim to have upgraded the speed of his home Internet connection. That's neat. Oh, and they've also cut his bill, from $45 to $30. Wow! What has prompted this amazing treatment? Years of loyalty and on-time payments? No, not exactly. Rob lives in Kansas City, pilot site for Google Fiber. Even though they have shut off people in other states for using too much bandwidth. Is Google making them show that it's not that hard to provide good service and bandwidth?"
