Time Warner Cable Suspends Broadband Upgrades After Merger (dslreports.com)
Karl Bode, reporting for DSLReport: Time Warner Cable has confirmed that the company has suspended its "Maxx" broadband and TV upgrades while the dust settles from Charter's $79 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks. Time Warner Cable's Maxx upgrades not only deliver faster top speeds up to 300 Mbps, but a notably overhauled improvement to the company's set top box interface. But Time Warner Cable has been telling company support techs and engineers that the upgrades were actually put on hold as of May 26. "[...] All speed increases and customer communications were placed on a temporary hold beginning Thursday, May 26," states the internal communication. "Once the updated launch schedule is determined, updated hub schedules will be posted to KEY and area management will be notified. Customers will continue to receive notification when the new speeds are available in their hubs."
But your rational, fact-based explanation doesn't match my outrage as to what is obviously a conspiracy theory based on my preconceived notions of anti-competitive behavior! How can I get all paranoid and weird about this now?
Wait, I know. First, I'll call you a shill, and then post my fanciful rants anyway!

The best part of this situation is the the market will sort things out. /.
If you don't like your ISP because of their offerings or service then simply switch to a compeititor.
With a vast array of high quality ISPs to choose from I fail to understand the constant complaining here on
We play the game with the bravery of being out of range
