Charter - Cable TV — 

I told myself before I wrote this that I would not use any bad words in describing my former television service provider.  Actually, I think I used every foul word possible while on the phone or online with Charter during the past 10 plus years, so perhaps I have exhausted them sufficiently to not add any colorful words in this review.

You might like Charter IF: 1) you're a masochist, 2) you appreciate the finer points of broken, unintelligible English, 3) you have a fondness shoddy accouting and fuzzy math, 4) you enjoy calls from 'collection agents' when your bill is 1 day past due, 5) "we only increased our rates by 16% this year" sounds like a bargain, 6) "Our install charges are free, but the fact that the installer had to enter your home but still do nothing means we'll charge you $89" seems to be a reasonable explaination, 7) ADD YOUR OWN HERE...

I can't stop being strangled by the MONOPOLY that is Charter because we do not have a viable high-speed cable internet alternative.  When I find one I will call Charter and gleefully exclaim "I am rid of you now!"

Yes, this is a biased review.  I apologize for my bad behaviour.

"I apologize for my bad behaviour." - - I thought you behaved yourself very well.

I guess I am lucky that I have had no problems with them,, yet,, I am sorry you did though,, I have been their customer since their inception and had no negative things happen, but I believe you,,, This is the way to spread the word though,, I don't blame you,, if it were me, I would go to you tube, whatever and spread the word,,
they have gotten so big they don't give a rip anymore whether you stay with them or not,, too bad there is a monopoly,,
