I can say that Charter is a really good example of a bad business model.

Sure, it provides good service, but their timing is terrible. I suspect that it only works consistently for certain situations.

Perhaps the underlying problem is my concept of how networking should work. I dislike the perception of communication speed that people have, but more importantly I dislike how Charter operates, and I can't explain why. That bugs me. I feel like people are being used and abused but just love it right now, because it happens to be convenient.
