This is probably really unhelpful, but simply said: no.

You will probably try a number of different approaches with TWC's "customer service" department in order to see if they can say anything remotely intelligent, or at least different from what the last person left you with in regards to excuses, and then maybe during your tenth or fifteenth attempt you will have a "technical engineer" pay visit to your house and do nothing but fiddle with the modem they gave you or criticize the one you decided to choose for yourself. Perhaps the issue will resolve itself "magically" at some point, but really, I would abandon any and all hope if you want this issue to be fixed in a timely manner by paid people actually working on it.

What you know about shitty internet if you not living in Russia :D

fuck

Even though you say there's only one ISP, have you checked the local telco (assuming TWC doesn't have a monopoly on phone service, but idk if that can happen)? Chances are if you can get AT&T real U-verse will be available if you live near a decently sized city. You could also be stuck with DSL. If your local telco is Verizon, then you're most likely stuck with DSL. AT&T has generally had good customer support for my family (relatively speaking of course, we've had numerous issues with Comcast, but hasn't everyone?).

Also try checking for smaller ISPs. You'll have to do some digging though. However, they will most likely only serve businesses.

Satellite internet is also an option, but considering you're posting on TFTV...

If TWC is literally your only option (or Comcast, in case anyone else uses this), then the only thing I can suggest is checking your wiring/equipment, and possibly have TWC come and check the lines. If all else fails, move. You won't get much better support if only one ISP services your area. Even if TWC or Comcast competes with just AT&T or Verizon just competition and being able to threaten to switch will get you better deals.

tl;dr check local telco, possible local ISPs, check wiring/equipment, or move to somewhere with at least a duopoly.

Good luck. The internet situation in the US is pretty bad, although Canada and Australia have it even worse.

Edit:

This goes with the 4th paragraph: It's most likely on TWC's end and not on your end. Probably isn't even the cables on your street.

yeah i live near a decent sized city but apparently at&t cant serve my area but can serve the school 5 minutes away? its really dumb. got twc to come in, they kinda fiddled with our shit and just said "it's too old"

Yep, that happens. It sucks. Can't really do anything about it unless cities start rolling out municipal fiber.

Time warner cable is awful, i get 2 megabit download and 130 ping to chicago servers about half the time (I live in WNY)

You have no idea how good you have it... and I'm still waiting on my NBN line.

I'm in Córdoba so the distance to Sevilla is actually 88 miles according to Google (meaning the thing on the bottom is wrong).

Move to Scandinavia.

Satellite is NOT an option, you will have a base ping of at least 5-700.

Polish internet FTW

I'm very jealous of you all.

It's an option if ping doesn't matter and only stable speeds do. It's definitely not an option for games though, which is why I had that bit at the end.

Just out of curiosity, what do you pay?
