We hope you’ve got your office’s WCIA pool all set, because it’s time for the bloodshed to begin. First up in the Worst Company Dodecahedron Of Doom — two cable and Internet providers that aren’t as big as Comcast, but which customers hate anyway. Time Warner Cable makes regular appearances on the pages of Consumerist due to bizarre billing and questionable customer service, but this past year has seen a particularly large amount of hate being tossed TWC’s way because of its attempt to bring back metered broadband, and the new monthly modem rental fees charged for equipment that had previously been included in the price of service. Cablevision may only be a regional player in the industry, but its billing and customer service — along with some very public carriage fee disputes — landed the Long Island-based company in an underdog slot in this year’s tournament. One unknown factor that may work in Cablevision’s favor is its Optimum West operations, which had been regularly criticized by Consumerist readers west of the Rockies.
