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.

Comcast Merger

In February of 2014, Comcast put in a bid to buy Time Warner Cable. As of February of 2015, this deal is still pending FCC approval and is slated to be approved in August of 2015.

IPv6

As of 2015, Time Warner Cable has deployed IPv6 in most of its markets.
