Charter spectrum predates time Warner's take over. It wasn't a merger, twc is taking over charter. Just like the time they did that with AOL.

TWC most certainly did not take over Charter. The other way around, which is also why the legacy Spectrum brand continued on. Disclaimer: Former employee of Bright House/Charter.

The same with AOL with everyone thinking the same thing. Sorry but charter is toast, it will be either a brand name and see me infrastructure, but entirely controlled by twc.

Incorrect. TWC is no more. Everything is Spectrum now, which has been Charter's retarded brand for quite some time, and will remain so.

Or the other Spectrum, the magazine of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which has been published since 1964...

Or the instant messaging transport, which is what I thought this was related to when I first saw it. :)

Or the 8-bit Z80-based 1980s computer that was huge outside of the US (when the US was mainly Commodore 64 focused) (1) and of Google Doodle fame (2)

> Every feature of Spectrum is now free.

Let's just pretend we're confused.

I don't think that's pretending at this point
