I’ve grumbled before about my ISP intermittently booting me offline when I try to drop Entrecards. It’s SO frustrating! Sometimes my Firefox browser will crash when this happens… and I just can’t bear to use Internet Explorer. Grrrrrr. I’m keeping my eyes open for a new ISP. Here’s a juicy tidbit I discovered: Charter internet. They are having a special right now– $14.99 a month for speeds up to 5Mbps!!! Right now with my current (lame) ISP, I get only about 768 Kbps. :-p I can’t imagine what 5 Mbps feels like, probably like the difference between a Volkswagon bug and a Ferrari?
If you’re looking for an ISP, check out Charter. Their offer of $14.99 is good for 6 months, and they’ll throw in a $25 Shell gasoline card, too. This offer expires July 31, so make up your mind! Charter allows a “test drive” of 30 days, so if you decide you want to go back to your Volkwagon bug, you can. As for me, I’m seriously thinking of driving that Ferrari. If you have Charter, please leave a comment and let me know. I’d love to hear of your experience!



I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
