So, I’ve been paying about $50 a month for 768K cable Internet through Charter ($10 of which was for basic cable, and $40 of which was for the Internet access). I was playing around on their web site and noticed that I could sign up in my area now and get 3 megabit access for the $40 a month. (My current 768K plan seemed to no longer be available.) So I just called them up and asked if I could get the faster speed at my current rate. The answer was yes, plus they’d give me 2 months of free access just for upgrading.

I just find it quite interesting that the company is offering very different services for the same rate. My cable modem rebooted while I was typing this and now my Internet connection is over 4 times faster. Wheeeee!!!!!!

I suggest other people try calling up their ISPs and asking if they’re offering a better deal nowadays. Especially if that ISP is Charter.

In other news, I only have about a week left of my summer course. I will update more here later when I’m less busy.
