Yes, I'm aware. Cable services do not require a site visit, though...
That depends, though. If you currently subscribe to TV service from your cable provider, then no, you don't need a site visit since you already are connected to their network.

But if you are a new customer, then you need a tech visit to either 1) connect the drop or 2) remove filters.

But yea, being able to do a self install with cable is a major plus. The fact that you can literally be up and running within minutes of purchasing/receiving your cable modem makes it so much easier to leave DSL immediately. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21089911 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:24:22 EDT Re: Hmmmm, what to choose? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21089902 Rob :

Charter ........ Service down so often that my dad quit calling for a credit. Down for days at a time and at least twice a week .......... The quick install doesn't justify it .....
Always call to get credit, especially from these mega companies!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21089902 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:22:45 EDT Re: Hmmmm, what to choose? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21089860 DaSneaky1D : Yes, I'm aware.
