Oh Charter, you are just uncontrolled sloppy garbage through and through.

“The Bureau’s investigation found that for a period of approximately two years beginning in 2012, Charter informed subscribers that they would no longer be permitted to attach new customer-owned modems,” the FCC said. “Charter later provided a list of authorized customer-owned modems, but new modems were only added to the list after passing a number of tests, many of which did not relate to harm to the network or theft of service.” (Charter customers who already used third-party modems before the policy went into place were allowed to keep using them.) Because of the FCC investigation, Charter is shortening its modem testing period to three weeks. The $640,000 fine will be paid to the US Treasury. Charter will have to file compliance reports every six months detailing its efforts to let customers attach their own modems. It won’t be a total free-for-all, though. For example, Charter can still prohibit attachment of modems that don’t support version 3.0 or higher of DOCSIS, the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification. Charter will have to notify the FCC each time it prohibits the attachment of a specific modem and explain why. Charter doesn’t charge a separate modem rental fee—the cost of a Charter-supplied modem is included in a customer’s monthly bill. Thus, using a third-party modem with Charter doesn’t save a customer any money. But regardless of whether cable companies charge a rental fee, FCC rules prohibit providers from preventing the use of modems except when they cause “electronic or physical harm” or are used for “the unauthorized receipt of service.”

You just got a new TV, DVD or stereo system and the problem is that your Charter Cable Remote doesn't work on it anymore. The Charter 1060BC1 remote that you received with your cable box comes preprogrammed to work with your cable box, a Toshiba DVD...

Dear charter, your cable bill is rather ridiculous for a company who can't send somebody out to fix our hd/dvr boxes for FIVE DAYS! What horrible customer service.

 Can't access anything on the dvr so can't watch any recorded shows. ANd can't record any new shows.. so there goes the new episodes of OUAT, Resurrection, Gotham, Sleepy Hollow, and The Blacklist since i'm not caught up. I play catch up on thursdays and fridays so I dont have to watch live with commercials. Thankfully we watched Walking Dead so we can at least see that on sunday.

Such bullshit. They better hope im gone to a movie by the time they come on tuesday. And it better be fixed then. Cause if I have to miss Supernatural and Agents of SHIELD that night too...theres gonna be some hell to pay.
