Have you called the folks at Time Warner Cable any good names lately? Bet you’ve heard some.
Smart Money reports that the cable giant is looking for a new name. “Project Mercury” is an internal rebranding effort with a goal to distance the nation’s second largest cable company from its former parent, Time Warner Inc., from which it now completely separate.
In light of last week’s kerfuffle with FOX Television, I’m betting you can think of a few good names. Let ‘em fly — we’ll publish any that are printable.

They should just change their name to FAIL because that's the only thing they've ever managed to provide me with. Buckets and buckets of FAIL, delivered slowly and at great expense.
