said by horseathalt7:I don't think their price per meg is a rip off, the problem lies in the fact that for folks like myself I have a limited budget and not only that but many times through out the year I am not even at home to use the service which can be up to months at a time, and my usage is for things like e mail, forums, and perhaps on occasion a short youtube video. Paying for, and having that level of service I would not be getting my money's worth.
@horseathalt7 Charter does offer a seasonal option in many areas if you are going to be out of town for more than a month. Also, the installation cost is only 29.99. So if you do disconnect for 2 months and come back you still save money. Also, if you are disconnecting for more than 60+ days when you reconnect you may qualify for new customer pricing.
