Every company has its issues, so I don’t want to sound too much like a complainer. But I seriously can’t imagine anything as bad as what happened to me this weekend. A two day outage for a communications company is just ridiculous. If I thought I would be here for much longer, I would definitely make the switch.

That’s crazy! Two day outage? In this day and age? You should really find another provider.

I am moving from Burbank to the valley soon, and I’m going to miss a lot of stuff, but I will not be missing my Charter service. My modem goes out all the time and sometimes it takes a half-hour to an hour for it to work again (when that happens, I just steal my upstairs neighbors internet). And they charge an arm and a leg, then hike up their rates about every six months. I think I’m paying $145 for cable and internet now. Ridiculous. I can’t wait to cancel it at the end of next month. Charter is the worst.

I was just talking with some of Gavin’s friends about cable companies and, specifically, Charter. Charter used to only be the only way to get cable in Burbank, but now there’s a new service called AT&T U-verse. You can arrange with AT&T to get your cable, phone and internet all together. My family switched over (after my dad having MANY heated conversations with Charter personnel) and have been very happy since. I believe that it’s cheaper AND offers more channels AND is more reliable. You should see if AT&T is available in your area. Alternatively, I have heard Verizon has this sort of offer, too.
