Can't order high-speed even if I want to...

[Guest]

Attempted to order high-speed internet through charter.com, but was unable to do so. Called 1-866-731-5420 at noon Pacific Time and was transferred from sales (Sundown) to tech support (Jack). Tech support informed me that their site is malfunctioning, and that sales can help me place my order. Tech support transferred me to sales but I was placed on hold and then I was disconnected. At this point, it is 40 minutes after the start of my call. I called back and spoke to Bao in tech support and told him what happened. Tech support transferred me to sales (Cori), who informed me that the hi-speed internet rate I requested is an online-only promotional product. I asked who could help me order the promotion, and she reiterated that she could not help me. I decided not to order internet through Charter and politely ended the call. All Charter employees were very polite, but no one was able to help me, which leads me to believe there is a problem with Charter's overall system and not with their point-of-contact employees.

Anybody else experience problems like this?

I have never had any problems like this... Of course it makes it pretty hard when they eventually tell you can't be serviced (do you already have cable with Charter?).  Did you ever end up getting service?  If so, who did you get service from?  Charter or did you go with some other option?
