Not Time Warner anymore. It is Charter and Charter has spun it off as Spectrum.
This cable network was Roadrunner and most of it still is Roadrunner vintage. Charter usually goes in and puts fiber on the main trunk lines. It depends on the size of the market, if they upgrade or not. Puna is a small market but it is only one trunk in. They could run one fiber all the way to Kalapana, turn around and take down the huge copper line. The cost of fiber is way down and the installation isn't as difficult as it once was. The small market may be due to unavailability plus there is a lot of area considered "the last mile". Might be better to ask them what plans for Puna are.
