Time Warner Cable is adding its higher-speed TWC Maxx service to eight new markets, said the operator in a blog post Thursday (http://bit.ly/UOkI7a). The new markets are Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Hawaii, Kansas City, Raleigh, San Antonio and San Diego. The service is in Los Angeles and New York City, Time Warner Cable said. Depending on a customer’s current speed, the service is up to six times faster and includes an all-digital TV lineup, a larger VOD library, and an advanced set-top box and DVR with more storage capacity, it said. The upgrade is in progress in Austin, and will begin in the other locations starting in 2015, said the cable ISP. “Making these groundbreaking changes is quite an undertaking and requires major enhancements to all of our TWC hubs in these markets."
