You can try it out before you commit, no reason to dismiss something based on other people. | |

Well it worked out for me because after awhile I got to know people with it and they didn't hate it...they despised it.
I dated a woman with it and it really was the 2nd worst experience of my life with a company.... | |

1 edit | Do You Trust Them? If I were a supplier of DOCSIS 3.0 equipment, or any other equipment needed to upgrade, I would demand payment up front for any equipment supplied to Charter. They are already writing off $8B in debt which means some creditors are going to get nothing or next to nothing. Since their financial history is now an open book, anyone who sells them anything on credit deserves any losses they may suffer down the road.
It never ceases to amaze me how a company's debt obligations can magically disappear through bankruptcy yet they can continue doing business. Having worked for a company many years ago that had customers declaring bankruptcy left and right and not paying us, one begins to wonder why anybody pays their bills at all. I was eventually laid off because they could no longer afford to pay me despite the fact the customers got the benefit of my work. They just didn't pay for it.

I have neighbors that did this and soon after they bought 2 brand new vehicles and still live in a $300,000 house.. I thought when you filed, your credit is shot for at least 7 years. | |

| Meh Well I guess this is better than having them being bought out which would lead to increase in prices which none of us want.
Although no one likes them for their horrible customer support and poor performance of their cable broadband connections, they are the only thing available for me as far as broadband. I will never bother with AT&T hell no, and def not DSL. Much rather have the faster speed of cable.

2 edits | Re: Meh Actually your comment is horses**t. If you've been following the bankruptcy you'll know that Charter was allowed to refiniance its senior bank debt because it has never defaulted on debt other than the bankruptcy (the law allows for this to happen).
Charter has good relationships with its vendors and based on my past experiece, they almost always pay up front anyway. The banks aren't losing money, they're just pissed because they lost the oppotunity to raise the interest rates on existing loans. The only people losing money are Paul Allen and other investors. And as anyone who plays on the stockmarket will tell you, there's no such thing as a guaranteed safe investment. | |

Grants Pass, OR | Judge has no back bone.... So much for the ass chewing that the judge gave Charter. All talk and no action. Still ruled in Charter's favor. What a idiot.  He was probably paid off. "sarcasm" | |
