I just had the lovely pleasure of speaking to Terrance WOW agent #A6C. His patience with my many issues and many questions was unwavering, a perfect gentleman. I was on the call with him for almost a full hour and I feel that he did everything within his power to correct the issues...
WELL TO MY SURPRISE AND I MEAN SURPRISE MY WOW REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT I DIDN’T HAVE TO PURCHASE OR BUNDLE MY CURRENT CABLE , I ALREADY HAD WHAT I REQUESTED AND HE ALSO SHOWED ME HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAMS IN MY WOW...
Will came to install the WOW Ultra TV at my residence. He was very polite and professional. He answered all my questions and even left his work cell phone number in case I had problems after he...
I was visited today by a lovely WOW worker: Brian Gonski. He made his way through a nasty snowstorm to fix my 2nd TV. I was having issues with certain tv stations. Brian quickly determined it was an adapter issue. He replace the adapter and voila! Ok, I know this is his job but now...
After 14 years of good service with WOW! I thought I’d give another service a try to see if the “grass was greener”, and made a change. I was contacted by WOW! Retention Specialist (Shi) and truly impressed with her persistent, yet courteous attempts to retain me as a WOW! customer. Shi and...
We have utility boxes in our backyard and one of the cable ones was malfunctioning. The generator on it was running 24 hours a day in spite of the power being on. I was pretty sure that the contractor who had put it in said it was for one of your competitors. I called...
Recently had some issues with internet and phone….tech # 5613 came out on a Saturday night and went what I feel was over and above….we had just had a major snowfall and he had to spend a lot of time on the roof and out in the backyard. Very respectful in the house with regard...
We have seen the TV WOW commercials were that technician put on the protective cover over their shoes, but we never dreamed that we would actually experience a WOW moment. On our two TV sets and on certain channels the picture displayed was distorted. However, Mr. Terry (ID: 2038) determined the cause of the problem...
I tried several other services, they didn’t care. I was unable to barely connect to the internet, they nailed the modem to the wall, made a mess, service outages in the middle of the last superbowl!!!! A rep from wow showed up my door one night and I was in a good mood and...
I recently moved to a new city and didn’t think WOW was available in my area so I went with another company. Within 3 weeks, I was completely dissatisfied with this other company, I’ll just call them AB&C. I had to have a technician out several times to the point where I just gave up....
I see you mention “WOW! has a number of technologies in the lab which will allow ‘whole house DVR’”. Do you have any updates on this? I just switched over to WOW (I’ve been patiently waiting 5 years for service in my community since parts of my zip code have had service for years) and I am trying to decide if I should build my own DVR, get a Tivo, or just be patient and use the SA box until WOW comes out with something better. Thanks!
Excellent post. Although it brings me to something I can’t stand about Apple, and that’s that they act like everything they do is “revolutionary” when in fact most of it is “evolutionary” (especially the iPad 2).
Speaking of evolving…any word yet on a new DVR? I’d really love to be able to share shows between TVs in my house and I thought there was some news on the way about something like this being in the works.
Awesome, thanks for the info. I have been close to getting the Ceton card and building my own Windows Media Center system, but I’d rather just lease one from you guys if there’s one coming relatively soon.
I have had Ultra TV for about a month now and it has been great. I have had no issue with RDP, VPN, etc. or with scheduling shows remotely. Everything has been fantastic except for one minor glitch where for about a half hour everything was extremely unresponsive (like 30 seconds to change a channel or open the guide or any other action) but then things went right back to behaving normally.
I do have one question about the remote, however. Is it possible to change the input on the TV with the remote? This seems like one feature that is lacking, as the only functions of the TV most people would need are the power, volume, and input buttons. I’d hate to have to keep the TV remote out just for the input button.
Provide the contact information of the friend you want to refer to WOW! You will need to provide their name and e-mail address as well as their home address (city, state, ZIP code) so we can make sure your friend lives in an area where we provide service.
We’ll contact your friend by e-mail and when your friend signs up for WOW! you both will receive a $25 credit to your WOW! account. You will see your credit just 60 days after your friend has our service installed. It’s that easy!
No e-mail? No problem! If your friend does not have e-mail, please provide their name, city, state and ZIP code. WOW! will provide you with a referral code to pass on to your friend to use when they sign up for WOW! services at sales.wowway.com.

Do you happen to know if the new build-out in University Heights, OH supports DOCSIS 3.0?

Two thumbs up! Count me in as excited that WOW is going all digital.

I second the others who would prefer more upload speed over more download speed. I would rather have 20/10 over 30/5.
However, I currently have 8/1 and even with that speed I rarely find myself wishing my connection was faster.
What’s MUCH more exciting to me is the whole house DVR system!
Where’s the Like button?!?!
This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping WOW would roll out. Great work, guys!
Steve, can an external hard drive be used for extra DVR storage space or just “other” media?
