Re: [Speed Issues] Hitting a new low with charter.

It's funny how they don't deliver what they advertise, but they want you to deliver payment in full every month, isn't it?

Yeah, if there is an ongoing problem it needs to be resolved.

That said, here's a blurb from the residential service agreement. The capital letters are Charter's, not mine.

CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT CHARTER DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNT OF BANDWIDTH ON THE CHARTER NETWORK OR THAT ANY SPEED OR THROUGHPUT OF CUSTOMER’S CONNECTION TO THE CHARTER NETWORK WILL BE AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMER. Customer understands and agrees that the speed of the Service provided at Customer’s site will vary depending upon a number of factors, including Customer’s computer system(s) and associated equipment, Internet traffic, and other factors such as system capacity limitations, governmental actions, events beyond Charter’s control, and system failures, modifications, upgrades and repairs.

To me the intent of this is to say that generally you receive the service you subscribe to, but at any given moment in time there is no guarantee you receive that, using the examples listed.

It has been my experience if you don't significantly receive the service to which you subscribe and it is Charter's fault, you can/will get a concession on your bill if you ask and can make the case (service logs/call history, Charter support chat history, etc.). I would not consider posts on the open forum as sufficient documentation, but certainly those on Charter Direct forum.

So, even if calling in doesn't directly resolve your concern it is important because it develops and documents the history of a concern.

100 % TRUTHFUL OBSERVATION.

That makes them quite the hypocrites doesn't it?

If they can't deliver that they advertise that would be FRAUD wouldn't it?

Nobody is saying that there won't be technical issues from time to time but if a company cannot deliver what they advertise at least 80% of the time, I believe they are committing fraud.
