I changed up some services on my Charter account to negotiate a better overall rate, and as a result I was bumped up to the 5mb/sec. package at the same rate as the 3mb package I had before. I was told they “don’t offer that speed anymore” (lol), but I can’t help but wonder if they just told me that because they were trying to keep my new package deal closer to what I was paying in the first place. My speed now is not too shabby, but I hate the crappy upload caps ISP’s put on standard accounts. I have a slower down speed at work, but I have 1.5mb up there and find myself taking crap to work sometimes if I have something more than just a few items to upload.
I fucking hate Charter - they’re so damn expensive for the crap services they offer. I think I’m going to go back to Direct TV but I’m not sure what to do for internet… I live in the sticks, so my choices are even more pathetically limited.
