If you lose your Time Warner Cable services 

If you call Time Warner Cable, its automated phone system will be able to tell you if we are aware of service interruptions in your area. If you call and hear that message, no further action is necessary. If your service is out and you don’t hear a message, you can report it through the system or by speaking with a representative at 1-800-TWC-HELP. 

In severe weather situations, the first priority is to restore electric power. Time Warner Cable crews may not be able to access a repair site because of downed electrical wires or other unsafe conditions. As a result, customers’ electricity is often restored before their Time Warner Cable services. 

Stay informed on breaking news by listening to your local radio station, watching TV bulletins and visiting TW's website regularly. If you need assistance with your Time Warner Cable account during the storm visit go online at www.twc.com/help .
