I personally would like to see a better variety in their music channels.

I have road runner only and I am denied access at ESPN3.com after logging in with my time warner id.

Supposedly, the 6 week delay is down to them figuring out a way to get the authentication down to do it this way.

Personally, I am tired of ATT crappy DSL (all they can give me is 3.0 due to pathetic backhaul capacity) and since my neighborhood and house was built in a a window of time between 2005-2007 that ATT was running fiber on the curb I am not going to be getting Uverse any time soon and have contemplated going to TWC for internet only, but no ESPN 3 means no way.

We have TWCx3 so I’m doomed. My husband is a man for all seasons & has been known to have 2TVs in the same room so he won’t miss any of the action. If I serve Thanksgiving Dinner @ 3:00PM, do you think that he will make it to the dining room table?

I only subscribe to their Road Runner service. On chat they said I would have access. On the phone I was told I would have to be subscribed to their ESPN Game Plan package.

Guess I’ll find out the real answer on the 25th. (Neither rep could tell me an actual date–internet FTW)

Good point, Lee. The dawning of the net neutrality debate to the mainstream. We’ll look back on this one day…

Time Warner Cable is the first provider to link ESPN3 with the cable side. All the past deals have been with the ISP side so as an example, if you had DSL with ATT and DirecTV, you got ESPN 3 with Bellsouth. Under TWC’s terms, you have to sub to cable television service as well as cable internet to get ESPN3.

If similar deals happen on the next round of negotiations for ATT, Verizon, etc we, the consumers may have much less choice in who we want to use for the various services.
