Time Warner Cable is the 2nd largest cable provider in the United States. It provides cable, HSD (high-speed data), and digital phone services to all customers.
National Backbone
The Time Warner Cable national backbone, named the T-Bone, provides transit for all Time Warner Cable regions. It maintains multiple peering connections with large networks and CDNs across the country, and buys transit from three large ISPs.
Prior to the Adelphia acquisition, all Time Warner Cable regions used transit links with Level3 and ATDN, with some regions maintaining private peers with local educational institutions. After the acquisition, Time Warner Cable utilized the A-Bone, Adelphia's legacy backbone, for transit and peering. However, the relatively low capacity of this network prompted the design of a new network, the T-Bone, which was brought into production in late 2007.
