Re: Here We Go Again

I just want to offer this:
I just ended a 3 year run with Charter Pipeline in WI. The speed was ok, never reached 3 megs but close. However, SBC DSL in my area blows cable away, I get content at 1.5 mb as fast as it came at Charters 3 meg, and for much less! Also, charter is known for simply dropping your payment plan or changing policy as they wish. I was supposed to get pipeline at first for only $20 additional to my Cable TV. That was supposed to include the modem. Next year, they revoke the free modem and now want $4.95 for rental fee, bought my own. Next, they went to 3 megs and wanted more for that or you got knocked down to 768k, what a choice! Corvette or Yugo, nothing in-between! Now they just told me that our current plan AGAIN has been discountinued because they "re-aligned" their pricing plans and now the bill goes up another $6.00! Bye, bye Charter Pipeline! Over $100 a month for cable tv and internet? Insane! At least here, DSL rocks!

I like the speed of cable, and the hosting and non caps of DSL. Until Qwest gets their act together, I can see leaving cable at all.
