As a result of Charter's acquisition of Time Warner Cable, Time Warner Cable no longer exists as a separate entity. The University has been notified that, as of July 31, 2018, Binghamton University Telecommunications will no longer be able to provide the billing and service for your now-Spectrum-based internet account as it did under Time Warner Cable.

Customers are encouraged to evaluate internet options in their area. We have been advised that those who wish to continue to use Spectrum for their home internet service will be eligible to receive Spectrum's "new customer" introductory packages. During the week of May 21, a memo will be provided to current Telecommunications Spectrum subscribers that can be presented to the local Spectrum office to facilitate the process of establishing this service and billing directly with Spectrum. In addition, the University will host a Spectrum mobile office on the main campus during the summer to facilitate this transition. As details on this mobile office become available they will be shared with customers. Upon making the payment for your final month of internet service with Telecommunications the transition process will be complete.

SPEL-adjacent in the media

http://news.wbfo.org/post/tick-season-underway-sparks-concern-new-virus-great-lakes-region

No one knows why there’s more cases in the Great Lakes states. Cornell’s Laura Goodman works on a project that screens ticks for diseases like Powassan.
She says, climate change could be a factor, because warmer winters extend the lifecycle of ticks. And, she says folks should be on the lookout for more ticks this year.
“Every indication is that we’re going to have lots of tics this summer,” she said. “We’re already seeing them being submitted this year we’ve already had ticks removed off of people and animals this spring.”
