Rob is a Time Warner Cable customer, and he's received two really
interesting things from them lately. First, a 50% speed boost: they claim to
have upgraded the speed of his home Internet connection. That's neat. Oh,
and they've also cut his bill, from $45 to $30. Wow! What has prompted this
amazing treatment? Years of loyalty and on-time payments? No, not
exactly.Rob lives in Kansas City, pilot site for Google Fiber, the gigabit
broadband project that's threatening to make current broadband providers
almost care about competing.

In NC TW put up a hell of a fight and much $$$ blocking competition from
municipal systems where (apparently) none of the ISP including TW wanted to
service.
