NOT YOUR GRANDFATHERS OLD PIPE:

I've finally gone and done it. After 3 years with a dial-up connection that could never get me out any faster than 28.8, despite the internet service providers 56k capabilities, because of living 7 miles...

Pros: Fast effecient service, cost effective, pleasant employees
Cons: None

When I had my first computer given to me by a dear friend I had no idea what a wonderful world she was opening up to me and my family. It was an older Apple and I had no idea what in the world I was doing, but I just kept plugging along and learning....

Pros: High speed Internet service, reliability and service. Did I mention high speed?
Cons: Cost might be a factor for light Internet users.

This review will focus on Charter Communications cable Internet access, but will also discuss other high speed Internet connection options. My personal broadband experience has been exclusively with Charter Broadband, starting in October 2003. My ...

Pros: Price, Ease of use, Stable
Cons: Speed compared to other companies

Quick downloads, Fast online game playing, Webpages instantly pop-up, No dialing in, Frees up the phone line, etc... All those things sound great, right? Well, depending on the company you can get all of that or at least some of it and still be...

Pros: No need to dial up.
Cons: Inconsistency in connection speed. Down times. Expensive.

Alright, I know what you're thinking. The question is obvious. Why is Shampoo Girl returning to Epinions when she's supposed to be on a far away tropical beach or at the mall somewhere? Yes, I'm still officially retired from writing on Epinions but I had...

Pros: High speeds, no dialing in
Cons: Downtime, bandwith hogging

What I like about our cable modem service:
- High speeds make surfing the web a breeze.
- Fast download and upload times are great whether I'm updating webpages, or downloading files.
- Multiple IP addresses (at an extra charge of course!)...

Pros: fast, reliable, priced reasonably well, can get great deals
Cons: customer service sucks, installation costs

Cable VS DSL Debate

Tired of that modem? You want Internet on demand instead of waiting to dial up to your current Internet service provider? Looks like you're ready for broadband. Let me lay out the differences between Cable and DSL...

Pros: Moxie works great. Gotta have it.
Cons: Horrible customer service, no concern at all from the corporate level.

I have been a Charter customer for approximately seven years. It has NOT been a pleasant experience and if I had a choice, I would happily select another cable company. Charter provides my television and internet service (this would be the one that is ...

Pros: Broadband internet sharing!
Cons: Can be a pain to setup

So you have Charter Pipeline access, or are thinking about getting it installed in your home? This guide will aid you in case you wanted to network your PCs together so you can share your newfound broadband access with 2 or more computers. The reason I...

Pros: One bill for both cable TV & ISP, speed, POP email, reliable, good service/support.
Cons: Can get pricey for faster speeds, often switch plans.

The more of my compadres that switch over to cable modems for their Internet, the more I realize that with cable internet service it's all about location! I have friends, even some in town, who have problems with their connections (Charter...

Pros: Fast connection to the internet.
Cons: God help you if you ever need to correct a billing error on their part.

I recently decided to take advantage of a special that Charter was running on their website: $26.99/mth for 3MB internet broadband, with free cable modem lease and free installation, until the end of the year. The technician came by on 8/21/04 to ...

Pros: Blistering speeds at a low monthly rate.
Cons: Poor tech support, availability not 100%

After being fed up with slow access speeds of my 56k modem, I began searching seriously for a broadband internet connection. The first service I looked at was PacBell's DSL service, this ran 50$/month with a one-time installation fee of 200$ and a one...

Pros: None
Cons: Just about everything right now!

If you have been reading around the technical publications or have a broadband account with Charter Pipeline then you'll probably know that in recent months Excite has been on the verge of going belly up. The case is running through the courts at the...

Pros: They are good at billing you and tech support is easy to contact
Cons: Too slow, too much downtime, and not what they promised.

OK, I gave them the past two years of my life, which by coincidence have been the best so far, but this had nothing to do with Charter Cable. I live in Saint George, Utah, and my service with Charter has never been what it was promised to be. The ...

Pros: Greater speed than dial-up. No need for second phone line if you have 2way.
Cons: Nationwide company hired by Charter to do tech support, not local. 3rd person hassle.

I'm a former employee of the tech support company for Charter. I did not work for Charter, but we provided the tech support, hardware, billing etc. for them. I had taken 100's of calls for either their dial up or cable service. I know the problems...
