Charter Cable Internet has Lousy Service and Email

Charter Internet is awful.

Charter Internet has the worst online email I have ever experienced. More frequently I cannot log into the service when I try. Sending email from their web interface is pointless, since their javascript-based interface usually fails to initialize and just shows an error message. Also, with all the money I'm spending per month, I have to watch their crappy advertising that they place alongside every email.

Now, adding more insults, users are being forced to log in through Charter's home page, laden with annoying ads and news.

We are now switching to gmail accounts. When we have gotten pretty confident that everyone who we email is now using or at least aware of those accounts, we're pulling the plug on Charter and getting a different, and less expensive ISP.
