Remember <A HREF="http://blogasheville.blogspot.com/2007/08/charter-sucks-even-worse-bloggers-unite.html" REL="nofollow">last summer?</A> They're unbelievable. And, once you have them, the cost to switch makes them indispensable. Yargh. In two years (okay, or twelve, whatever) when the kid moves out, the TV goes away forever and then, ha ha, no more Charter!mygothlaundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017781537813147274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840599.post-54573946632959697882008-05-24T12:26:00.000-04:002008-05-24T12:26:00.000-04:00Being involved in URTV, having charter is the only...Being involved in URTV, having charter is the only way I can watch my show.

My husband spent more than 30 hours on the phone one week with their horrid customer service people to try to rectify a problem that he could prove was on their server's end (his master's work is in computer science). They refused to take any off our bill to make up for his time. (He also made two trips to their office.) We dropped them and never looked back.

It's actually cheaper in most cases (Mine, for instance) to accept the basic cable... even if you wont use it (even though you know you will :) ).Tronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444245513819840929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840599.post-31660035522012158142008-05-23T10:16:00.000-04:002008-05-23T10:16:00.000-04:00Exactly.

Now I have DSL (and no local service) through AT&T and it's a flat fee every month with no surcharges, taxes, etc. Best of all, I'm getting $175 in rebates for switching.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211896817682862139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12840599.post-3423722405478480812008-05-23T09:01:00.000-04:002008-05-23T09:01:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211896817682862139noreply@blogger.com
