"anytime after 3 years Charter will not offer any refunds"?!
at the current bid (near $15k), that would mean the monthly cost is more than $400! who in their right mind would consider this? |

Oh hell. They should have etched an image of the Virgin Mary into a cable modem and sold it on eBay. They'd have bids easily an order of magnitude above that...

I'd love to hear the call to the billing department for the guy with the lifetime service after the company get's bought.
"No, see I payed $15,000 for lifetime internet access in 2008. No its not the platinum package, its the free internet for life deal that they only gave to me because I paid them $15,000. Just look in your computer. I already told you its not the platinum package, its the super special prepaid lifetime package only offered in 2008 and I won it because I outbid everyone. Don't you understand? Im the winner. OK, I'll hold." |

I love it - you quote: $48 price (without phone service) for DSL and claim $50 for 10mbps cable - BUT it's actually $60/month for 10mbps cable bundled with TV, or $70 without TV.
$48 isn't close to $70, sorry. |

Sorry first of all 10 meg is $50 with TV $60 without. Try getting your facts straight. Trust me I know what the prices are in my area.
Secondly I have no use for a at&t phone line thus I would have to pay the extra $5. I do have Charter cable. Thus I would only pay $50. So $48 is close to $50. Even if you want to compare $48 to $60 guess what it's 6 Mbps vs 10 mbps. 67% more speed for an extra $12 and double the upload. Um yeah I'll take that deal. |

| And with Charter, how much of the time do you get full bandwidth. With ATT I can't remember a time when I was below my speed.
When my dad had Charter HSI he had muliple outages a week. So many that he gave up calling it in to get a credit. |

BF69 -
If I go to Charter.com and type in an address and zip for Camden TN the prices I am presented with are the ones I quoted (after the promo period). Try it.
From Charter's website:
$59.99/month for 10mbps + $10 fee (in fine print) for no CATV
I have nothing against you personally, I'm just quoting what WHAT THE CHARTER WEBSITE SAYS FOR YOUR ZIP. What one thinks is the price is irrelevant, go to the source. |

I've been faced with that decision myself in the past, I wanted faster but in the end I chose Verizon DSL at 3 Megabits. I would do it again if I had to. I've in fact lived in multiple Charter areas, and have a long list of bad customer experience with them. That's not to say I would have problems with them again, but past history makes me not want to even bother, personally.
