I only used Charter for about a week during September 2003. They are a cable ISP in the Apply Valley - Lakeville area. I would rank them overall as good, with conditions. I dropped them quickly because I run my own mail server and they block SMTP and HTTP traffic from entering their residential network. It just wasn't a good fit for me, it may be for you. They offer different levels of service, differing mostly by their bandwidth caps. That was one thing that attracted me to them. If you don't really need that 1.5Mb pipe you can step back to 768k or 256k. I had some trouble with my cable modem. I own a Motorola Surfboard 4100 which worked fine on Comcast. It would drop off constantly on Charter. I was able to borrow a modem from them to test with and found out it was my cable modem. I think their tech support was good and they weren't scared of Linux.
