The Sewing Mom

The Olympics are almost over and then it’s time for football season! This is truly my husband’s favorite time of year. He’s been attempting to watch NFL preseason football games on television, but it’s difficult when we’re all wanting to watch the Olympics at the same time. Of course, I’m always on the computer while watching t.v., multi-tasking is what I call it. This would definitely not be a time when we would want to be without our television or internet service!

Do you have a good high speed cable or satellite service? If not, or if you’re thinking of changing providers, this is a great time to check out Charter Communications and their Back To School Deal.

I’m going to be traveling all next week. I’ll have my laptop with me, but I have to admit, I am so accustomed to having high speed internet access that anything else just isn’t good enough! I will have a couple of nights in a hotel that will probably have high speed, but I will also have a couple of nights at my sister’s house who only has dial up access. Ugh!

I can’t blame my sister, she would love to have high speed access, it just isn’t available where she’s at. If Charter internet were available, I’d have her sign up right now. They’re currently offering the first 30 days risk-free and they don’t have any long term contracts. And, with pricing as low as $14.99/month, it’s very hard to beat. The current service comes with a high speed internet security service and 10 email accounts.  That’s really good!

The Charter offer ends July 31.
