Lot of work to save $25 by buying your own. I want control of my own network security and how well that signal gets to my computers and such anyway. But I guess some sort of nationwide movement would make TWC stop doing it. It only took stupid amount of complaints, calls, and two years to get the NFL Network on TWC. I mean they seem reasonable enough.
