Ok, if I was dealing with Charter, I would be checking into DSL too. For $30 per month, you can get 256/64. Man, that's 5x faster than dialup. Level2 costs $45 per month for 768/128. Level3 costs $60 for 1544/128. I would be checking into DSL defintely. In my area, I'm happy to have Cox as a cable company, their speed package of 3000kb down and 256kb up is fast enough for me. I heard Cox is going to offer tiering packages in the future but I'm not sure.

256/64 is only like 30 kBps max download speed... who would want that?

1.5 mbps per second is about 190 kBps... which is what I am running. Like 80 % of the people on the internet are using 1.5 if you're not happy with that then you are spoiled lol.

Adelphia (SoCal) is pretty awful. It used to be great but it's been so oversold that at times it's little better than dial-up.
