Apologies for minor thread-jacking, but I have another question
regarding Spectrum service.  I've had Spectrum (previously Time Warner)
business class for five years.  I'm getting 35x5 service for $90/month.
  This is in Cary about a mile from Morrisville. 

I've seen recent advertising with better deals, but they include TV
service and require 2 or 3 year commitments. 

I've sent emails to Spectrum BC asking them what service tiers and rates
are available.  This results in them sending me an 800 number to call,
followed by calls from them on my (spectrum provided) business phone
line.  I haven't answered these, in part because I need this line open
for work.

I'd rather not sign up for multiple years of their service, in the event
that Google Fiber becomes available.  I've looked around online
including at DSL Reports, but I can't find a listing of what tiers and
rates are available locally. 

Can anyone recommend a way to get a better deal out of Spectrum?

Thanks,

   Scott C.
