Around here TWC has a strange pricing structure. I suspect it is the same in your area. When you first sign up you get "the best deal" they have running at the time and it lasts for a year or two. Then, you bump up to the "second best deal" they have running at that time for a year or two. Then, you bump up to the "third best deal" at that time, yadda, yadda, yadda... until you are paying "regular price".
About three months ago my TWC bill (basic cable, phone and internet) jumped about 30 bucks to right about the price you are at now. I called and complained. First they tried to tell me what a great deal I was getting because I wasn't paying "regular price," which they said was something like $220 for this service. After about 30 minutes on the phone I got them to begrudgingly agree to drop my price back to where it was for another year. We'll see what they try to do to me next June.
Before moving up to Maine I had DirectTV (just for TV, not internet - satellite internet was pretty pricey at the time) and was very pleased with it. Very rarely had any signal issues - no more than with regular line cable. I went with TWC when moving up here because the promotional price to get you in was very low at the time. If TWC tries to up my price again, I'll likely go back to DirectTV.
