Whether or not this is related to Google, is interesting, but none the less, competition is good.

Time Warner Cable Takes Next Step to Transform TV and Internet Experience in the Charlotte Area | Time Warner Cable
The Internet transformation will begin this summer and will include speed increases on TWC residential Internet plans at no additional cost, with customers experiencing increases up to six times faster, depending on their current level of Internet service. For example, customers who subscribe to
  • Standard, formerly up to 15 Mbps, will now receive up to 50 Mbps,
  • Extreme, formerly up 30 Mbps, will now receive up to 200 Mbps;
  • Ultimate, formerly up to 50 Mbps, will receive up to 300 Mbps, at no extra charge.
Coming to
Albemarle, Badin, Boiling Springs, Charlotte, Cherryville, Clover (S.C.), Concord, Ellerbe, Gastonia, Harrisburg, Huntersville, Indian Trail, Kannapolis, Kings Mountain, Matthews, Monroe, Mooresville, Rockingham, Salisbury, Shelby, Statesville, Wadesboro, Waxhaw and Weddington.
This really blows the AT&T Uverse offering out of the water.

I have Extreme, so 200 Mbps sounds great. On the other hand, I'm pretty happy with my current speed so it probably makes sense to 'downgrade' to Standard, which will still be much faster than I have right now.

Although once I get a taste of 200 Mbps, I probably won't want to step backwards.

No cost yet but I'll bet within a few months they will have a ""price increase"

I can't wait to be able to get rid of Time Warner.

It was originally announced two years ago, before Google confirmed that they wanted to enter North Carolina.

It will also be at least two years before anyone sees any internet or video service from Google in Charlotte.

Were the upgrades announced at no charge 2 years ago?

I recently was given, without asking, a retention discount. I'm paying $34 for Extreme now. That and buying my own modem will save me $600/year.

Time Warner seems to be trying to earn some goodwill with customers before the competition arrives. They recently gave me a pretty nice deal on the Extreme service plus I returned them their modem and bought my own from Amazon.
