My Internet ISP charges have been slowing creeping up. We have DSL broadband, and I don’t really know for sure if it is me or not… but our connection just seems to drop every once in a while, and stay disconnected for 1-2 minutes. It especially happens when I drop Entrecards. It is REALLY annoying. Since the costs are going up anyway, I’m looking around.

Anyone have Charter High Speed? I hear they are very good. They have an extremely tempting deal going on right now (I am a real sucker for deals): a Charter Laptop-a-Day Giveaway. If you order their service, you are entered to win 1 of 30 Presario laptops valued at over $600!!! And if you order from them online, you get a $100 Shell gas card for free! See the sweepstakes rules for yourself. Charter has tremendous speeds: there’s the 5Mbps plan, the 10Mbps plan, and the 16Mbps. This is mind-blowing because I get, uh, 700Kbps. Charter is offering their High-Speed service for $19.99 for 6 months. I already pay that for my stinky DSL service!!! :S

Anyway, the free gas card and the computer giveaway looks so good. Check it out if you like.
