EL SEGUNDO HERALD June 2, 2016 Page 17 Charter from front page 12. Unacceptable, but it gets worse. Told a technician it would be out on May 14 by 5 p.m. No show. It’s now May 21 and nothing from Frontier regarding solution to this problem. They can’t (or won’t) tell me what the likely problem is and they lie.” Frontier blames corrupted software inherited from Verizon Fios for the repeated outages across Southern California and in several states. The telcom company promised state lawmakers last month it would correct the problems with slow internet speeds and service interruptions. A Lake Elsinore reviewer explained that Frontier canceled a service call and re-scheduled it without checking with her. “I have been on the phone with them multiple times due to not having internet service for last two weeks. They finally scheduled an appointment for a technician to come to my home then cancelled the day of and left an automated voicemail rescheduling the appointment for a day I would not be home,” the customer wrote. The Time-Warner sale to Charter is part of a shakeup of telecom ownership that started in July when AT&T U-Verse bought El Segundobased DirectTV. Frontier in April, wrapped up the deal to buy Verizon Fios and its landline divisions. All three pay-TV providers compete in the airport and South Bay cities. Charter quadrupled its number of Southern California subscribers and now services 1.5 million homes and businesses, according to published reports. Time-Warner customers will be relieved to know that Charter has contracts with the Los Angeles Dodgers for baseball, USC football and Lakers games. South Bay cities are yet to hear from Charter about its plans for the future. A change to the federal telecommunications act in 2006 stripped California cities of their authority over local cable TV providers. However, cable companies and cities have business relationships for public-access TV channels, some resident complaints, and maintenance contracts. Manhattan Beach has a five-year contract with Time-Warner Cable to maintain the fiberoptic cables for phone service, according to management fellow Kendra Davis. The new owners, Charter, have not contacted either Manhattan Beach or Torrance yet to discuss future plans. “As of this moment, the City has not received any communication regarding changes that may result from the sale of Time Warner to Charter Communications but is hopeful that it will not result in a disruption of service for the City or its residents,” Davis said in an email to the Herald. Charter Spectrum sent a letter last week to subscribers about the sale. City officials, however, say they learned from media reports and not the telecom companies themselves that the deal had closed. The Torrance manager of cable TV services also said that no one from Charter has contacted his office about the change of ownership. “Because they are conducting business in our community, and their customers are our residents and businesses, they have a unique opportunity to gain insight to any local impacts,” Cable and Community Relations Manager Michael Smith said. “We can also be a resource in dispelling any incorrect perceptions as well as mitigate customer service issues.” Time-Warner’s performance in Torrance was solid, based on the number of complaints taken by Smith’s office. Time-Warner subscribers lodged 15 complaints in 2014, 16 in 2015 and just two from January through May of this year, according to Smith. The majority of complaints were about billing and rates, according to the breakdown he provided. Time-Warner Cable and Charter are the only two cable providers in Southern California that show Los Angeles Dodgers games. Time- Warner took the lead in 2013 and signed a 25-year deal with the Dodgers. The Dodgers own SportsNet LA, but TWC is responsible for getting other pay-TV companies to use it. Frontier, U-Verse and Dish Network subscribers were shut out again this baseball season because their TV service providers refused to pay the Dodgers’ asking price to televise home and road games. There was talk that AT&T’s deal for Direct TV would require the new buyer to televise Dodgers games, but that didn’t happen. • PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLISH YOUR PUBLIC NOTICES HERE ABANDONMENTS: $125.00 ABC NOTICES: $125.00 DBA (Fictitious Business Name): $75.00 NAME CHANGE: $125.00 Other type of notice?
