What should you know about Time Warner Cable? Whenever I hear about large corporations that have their hands in a lot of things at once, I am always curious to know a little bit about the history of the company. Once such company I wonder about is Time Warner Cable. Seems that no matter where you look, you see something that relates to them in some way. Who are they though and what is there to know about them? Here is a little bit about Time Warner Cable that may help you with who they are and what they do.

In the most basic sense, Time Warner Cable is a company based in the Unites States that provides cable television service, high speed internet access, and services for video on demand in a little more than half of the states. The company serves mainly the southern part of the Unites States. Formed originally in 1989, Time Warner Cable is now a division of AOL Time Warner.

For Time Warner Cable, 2005 was a big year. Back in April, Time Warner Cable put out a new triple play bundle. They offered Digital Cable, high speed internet access, and even digital phones for their cable customers. As a result, their subscriber totals increased dramatically. At the end of June in 2005, they had about 5.2 million customers in the United States. By the end of September of the same year, that number had gone up to about 5.2 million customers. That is quite a jump for Time Warner Cable in a fairly short amount of time.

In their Austin, Texas location in 1999, Time Warner Cable started testing video-on-demand equipment. After that, they began providing a movies on demand service to subscribers on a trail basis during 2000. Then, in 2001, Time Warner Cable offered the service in additional locations. Finally, as of the last of 2003, Time Warner Cable was offering their video on demand service to all 31 of its divisions.

In addition to all of the services they provide, Time Warner Cable also has its hand in a number of other things. They have ownership money in sports stadiums, athletic teams, and other real estate as well. All in all, Time Warner Cable, is a large and powerful company.

Large companies with the prominence of a Time Warner Cable are interesting. With their now being a part of AOL, the overall company has even become more recognizable and powerful. Time Warner Cable offers service and quality cable and internet access to millions of people across 31 divisions and 26 states in the United States. With this little history lesson, at least now you know a little more about this company and what exactly its role is for all of us now.
