Google's "free" option is significantly cheaper than TWC in the long run, it lays down the infrastructure to make money in the area in the future. And unlike TWC's old infrastructure in areas like downtown KCMO (where I've heard from several people that TWC absolutely sucks), Google's infrastructure supports much better service.
TWC may not be losing sleep over the $70/month and $120/month options... at least not right now. However, I'm sure they're shitting their pants when thinking about all of their customers who currently pay $20-$30 month for internet.

$120 for t.v and internet is a pretty good deal.
$70 for internet just isn't going to appeal to the average person
only the heavy internet users are going to go for it. The rich people with more money they they need with get it just for kicks, of course.
$50 would of been a more competitive introductory price imo.
It's not about the speed, it about the price. JMO
the $300/5megs for 7 years is going to be a huge draw though
