Credit where it is due; you can't beat the price for their internet package, $29.99 for 30 mbit.
We ditched cable (U-verse) and went to internet and all the online TV packages (Netflix, Hulu. Prime, etc.) Charter became our ISP. When Game of Thrones picked back up with a new season I was 'forced' to get cable to be able to see it. After the season was over I ended up canceling the TV package again.
The lady on the phone was extremely pushy and obnoxious when it came to canceling the cable service. I expected the typical 'why are you canceling?' question, but it went on for well over 10 minutes. Even after making it very clear this wasn't a price issue, but that because of the simple fact that I don't watch cable and as such don't want to pay for a cable sub, she kept on throwing promotions at me.
'Lady, I don't use it. Even if you give me cable for $20/mo, it's $20/mo too much because I DON'T USE IT. Just cancel everything and I'll get my internet elsewhere too, I don't have time for this.
She reluctantly accepted the cancellation, then told me the $29.99 introductory rate for my internet had to go up since that was only for new customers. Told her too just cancel it again, and she magically was able to keep my internet price at the same price it was before I added the cable.
Tech was supposed to come by on Friday between 8-5 to pick up my equipment. He never showed or called. 5 days later someone shows up out of the blue to pick up the box.
TLDR: Great product for a good price, horrible service dept. Probably just following company policy, but a pain to deal with either way. read more
