<br>From my dealings with Charter here is California, its a black hole.
You call or write the company and never receive replies. Charter
also seem to have some weird ideas. They are currently arguing with
the local government on why it is technically impossible to bury the distribution
equipment like they agreed to a few years ago
<p>Personal advice: Stay as far away from Charter as you can
