well,

i am finally getting decent speed broadband again.  when i moved, qwest wanted me to keep paying the same price but go from 7mbps down to 3mpbs down so i dropped to 1.5mbps down thinking i’d be fine.  come to find out, i couldn’t tolerate the slower speed…….  charter sent my gf a promotion that allowed you to get 5mbps internet and basic cable (first 22 channels) for $5 more than i was paying for the 1.5mbps service from qwest, since i was thinking about cable tv anyway i decided it would be a good idea to switch.  of course, i will probably re-think that if charter goes bankrupt
