Had a CC door knocker come by the house on Friday last week (13th of October). We spoke for a time. He was in a selling mode and did state the best hardware for service would be their combo WAP-Firewall-VOIP box as there was nothing better for use with CC. Only real deal offered was a combination package which too he mentioned as the best deal. (combination package was Internet, Television and VOIP). I did mention to him that I had been a CC ISP customer since the early 2000's and he did not have a record of this on his tablet which I was curious about.
This is very similar to Uverse door knockers from last year. Initially it was 2 then a follow up with 1. It was a hard push for me to change over to U verse from CC. A bit back and forth with the 3rd CS person got me a great just Internet price. I wanted it as a secondary fail-over to CC. The speed updates were the push and the 3rd CS person asked me why I didn't want a speed increase to my internet.
The 3rd CS person stated that Uverse would be utilizing my cable and it would cost $200 for them to install another cable. I do also have copper and wondered why they wouldn't utilize the copper at the time.
I have noticed now though mostly Uverse AP's around these days and only a couple of CC APs such that it appears that Uverse did switch over a bunch of folks from CC to Uverse in my area.
