I have been thinking about switching my lake phone service from AT&T to Charter. If anyone has Charter phone service, how has the service been for you? I appreciate your comments on this matter.

My service has actually been better with Charter than AT&T. Sound is more clear with better modulation. Noticed yesterday's B'ham News had an AT&T ad calling attention to Charter's coming Chapter 11 by saying that at least ATT will still be in business.

Two limitations with Charter: 911 works but 911 service will not be able to locate the caller's location auromatically. And if you lose power at your house you lose telephone service. However, you will still be listed in the phone directory.

Wish ATT would bring in their TV cable, then maybe competition would bring prices down.

My telephone service has been great with charter. You lose service with power outages but you have the option of buying the battery which gives you 8hrs extended service for $40 ( a one timr cost ). THE $19.95 first year per month cost is quite a savings from at&t. My next move is to have a cell that has good reception so I won't need the LAN or cable.

Hopefully Charter will survive the Chapter 11 and continue to serve us.
