I'm not taking their side but.......

I have Charter cable and internet at the lake (Logan Martin) and Dish in town. Can't get internet in town. No DSL with Bellsouth and Charter doesn't run to the house in town. I know that sounds crazy but anyway.

While most of what you guys are saying about Charter is true, it's far better than Dish IMO. The dish system is mostly useless when the weather gets bad. It has been taking a mind of it's own and just switching channels mid program at various times. And in the last week, I have had to start re booting the thing (turn it off then back on) almost every night. And it always happens right in the middle of one of the few programs that is something someone might want to watch. I will give the Dish network installer credit tho. He arrived early. Called beforehand to make sure it was OK for him to come earlier than scheduled. He was polite, courteous and clean. And we asked him about internet through Dish and he was completely honest with us. He asked what we were used to and said we would not like it and their internet service was slow and overpriced but it did work.

I'm like the last guy on the line with my Charter service at the lake so if there is ever a wide range outage, I'm the last one fixed. But it works pretty well and I to have the area manager and a couple of the service guys cell phone numbers. They have always been great to come out pretty quick most of the time. Calling the 1 800 charter stinks number never really works but the folks in the field do.

I guess what I'm saying and the reason I'm chipping in my .02 is, I have them both and in a side by side comparison, Charter just works better more often. and from what I have seen of the bills, there really isn't any difference.

I guess it's the heat thats got us all inside fussing about tv and internet. Let's go for a swim to beat the heat and forget the garbage on tv.

Peace from Logan Martin
