I have Charter, which apparently is supposed to suck, but works very well for me.
The regular 3M service I once had was fine, but I'd never tested my speed. Charter had offered to upgrade me to the 5M service, but it would be an extra $30 a month, which I felt wasn't worth it. I moved 4 months ago to a house *just* past their last servicable address and had to go back to dial-up, which made me more miserable than you can imagine. DSL wasn't even available here. Last week, Charter suddenly decides to do the right thing and run service to the remaining 2 houses on my road, so of course I jumped at it. I decided to upgrade my 3M service to the 5M service because they offered it to me for only $10 more per month. After the cable was run through the house and installed, I was on the phone with Charter verifying my order when the lady informed me that they now have 10M service. I asked for the cost, braced for the worst. Only another $10 a month. Guess what I went with?
So my total bill for everything - equipment, channels, premium services, 10M internet, blah blah for FOUR boxes (2 separate lines had to be run to split to 4 boxes and a cable modem) including 1 Hi-Def box with DVR, best available channels package including all movies (but not premium sports LOL) *including* all taxes, fees, etc - is $145.72 per month. They bundled something and gave me a deal somewhere, because when I had the same set-up with 3M internet at my last address, my bill was $131/mo. They said this price is guaranteed for 1 year, though I don't have to keep it that long. Wonder what it'll cost next year? By then I might be too addicted to the speed to give it up. Yes, I'm sure I will be.
