Time Warner Cable initially took their time deploying faster DOCSIS 3.0 speeds, priced them well beyond what most sane people were willing to pay (often in upscale "Signature Home" packages), then complained that the services weren't initially seeing quite the uptake they'd hoped for during a recession. That seems to be improving slightly in some markets (the company signed up 54,000 wideband subs in the fourth quarter), thanks in part to offers like the free Slingboxes they were giving out in NYC last year. In NYC they compete with Verizon's slowly-spreading FiOS footprint, and are also now offering an interesting deal: one free year of VoIP service for users who sign up for 50 Mbps broadband.
