The Charter Bundle

  Before I left Miami I checked to see who the cable service company was for Fort Worth.  I was not happy to hear that it was Charter.  We had their service when we first moved to Miami until they sold out or did something and we got a different company.
  I was not happy with Charter Internet service.
  They do not get good reviews…I checked on the Internet before I moved here.
  My ex-wife and son, that live here in Fort Worth, have DSL service from AT&T.  So I told my ex-wife that I would give her $100.00 a month and that Russell and I would use their service via WiFi.  I had them upgrade to 5 M down.  Now $100.00 is more than it cost them for Internet and phone service.  I made it more to help them out.
 
  Well Russ and I been using their service via WiFi.  Russ is playing games online and watching TV via his XBox 360 and I do not know what all he is doing.. My son is down stairs playing online games sometimes.
  My ex-wife does some eBay stuff online to try and make a few dollars.

  I use almost no band width.. What I do posting to the blog and reading my email….that is about it..  The Internet service that I am getting sucks …
  Are you ready for this?
  Charter sent out their special offer:   Basic Limited cable TV $9.99 for 12 months,  High Speed Internet $29.99 for 12 months and telephone service $19.99 for 12 months.  Their “high speed” Internet service is 5 M down.  For $10.00 more a month I can get 10 M down or for $25.00 more a month I could get 20 M down.
  The total is $59.97 a month.  I called and signed up for the service. I do not own a phone and I do not own a TV set.  All I care about, right now, is the Internet service.
  They did lock in the Internet service price for 24 months.  I can upgrade the speed anytime I want and I might just do that one day.
 
  I will keep paying Darlene $100.00 a month to help her out and Russ is going to keep on using their WiFi connection.  He is sleeping and does not know that I have ordered cable service.  But I need dependable Internet service so he can keep using their WiFi service and I will be the only one using the cable Internet service.

  I get it Wednesday between 1 and 5 PM.
  I hope the Internet service is good.
  A couple of things already…The letter/offer from Charter that they sent me said “30-Day Risk-Free Trial!” and the guy I talked to on the telephone said he knew nothing about that.. I read it to him from their offer and gave him their promo code right about it.  He was still like… speechless …  The other thing.. He wanted to know did I want them to take the month fee out of my bank account each month.  I said no.  He said well then we have to check your credit and charge you $30.00 but I went ahead and had them do that.. I do not like having anything taken out of my bank account each month.  I have had to many problems in the past with things like that.

  So they have not even installed yes..and I got a sort of a bad feeling about this deal.
 
  I wonder if in fact they can supply 20 M down.  I do not need it but  it would be nice… But what the heck would I do with it?
