So, I accidentally deleted the Continental Tire Sports Car GS race off of my cable box because I didn't realize that the GS and ST classes were running separately for the Lime Rock race and were broadcast at different times. I figured it wasn't going to be a problem because, after all, I have Speed2, right? I try to log on to Speed 2 and see this:

In case Kinja ruined the image, it says:

Error: Your Time Warner Cable subscription does not currently include access to this programming. To discuss your viewing options please contact your local Time Warner Cable representative.

I went to Google to try to figure out what the hell happened as, up to this point, I had no problem accessing Speed2, and found this:

You mean they want more for the same shitty service, plus extra shit that I'll never use?

FUCK

THAT

NOISE

I'm already looking for expenses that I can cut back on and over the past few months I've found more and more ways to watch the things that I want online for free or very little money. On top of this, they recently raised my rate because the one year intro period is over with.

Time Warner just priced itself out of a steady revenue stream.

I'm an area manager for AT&T U-Verse. If it's available at your address, I might be able to help you out. :-/

You know, considering that I not only work for said service, but am also a paying customer for said service, your derision is more than a little insulting.

It's not derision. I apologize if you took it that way.

How was it supposed to be taken? I'm honestly offering the guy my help if he's legitimately upset with TWC.

I'm sorry, it wasn't personal. I just got off U-Verse and it was a bloodbath. I'm sure you were trying to help and I shouldn't have posted that comment.

Why was it a bloodbath? How long ago did you originally get it? Newer customers are having a much better time of it thanks to some recent changes to the service. AT&T admits they kinda screwed the pooch on early adopters because there were a ton of kinks to work out.

It was a few years ago. Constant problems, boxes not working and constantly had to be reset, they originally gave me the wrong box, inconsistent internet speed. There were a lot of kinks. To be fair, TWC was worse.

Again, I'm sorry if I offended you.

You work there and they still make you pay? That sucks.

In all fairness, those problems have all been pretty much eradicated. We've consolidated everything to one model of box now, with a wireless variant of that same box. We've worked out the kinks in the internet connections and now lay out dedicated private lines for each connection instead of shared loops (those far, U-Verse and FiOS are the only ones that do this on a consumer level), and we've ceased the subcontracting of technicians, meaning all of our techs are in-house now. I do apologize for the problems you had, but I'm not offended anymore because, the way I see it, the U-Verse service a few years ago is a totally different animal than the current U-Verse service.

S'all good, mate. =)
