Another Giveaway From Charter

When I worked at McDonald's, my store manager was an older woman. Her oldest grandson was deployed to Iraq, and it was very hard on her. She was close to this grandchild, and missed him terribly. He sent her a letter one day, telling her he could get online where he was, so they could exchange emails. She went out that same day and bought her first computer. It took a few weeks, but she taught herself the basics, and was emailing like a pro. It's amazing how technology can connect people who are so far away from each other.

I wish I had a similar story, but to be honest, I use the internet for the same reasons millions of others do. I check my mail, I blog, and I play on Facebook. There is nothing interesting in that, except for the fact that my internet speed is lightning fast. I use Charter for my internet, cable, and home phone. In fact, last month I signed up for a new bundle package, and am locked into this rate for two years. This means no surprises on my bill. That is a nice feeling.

Charter also has great giveaways. Last year they even gave away a car. Right now, though, they are giving away laptops and HDTV's, one each week. I would be happy winning either one of those prizes. I would be really happy if I won the grand prize package of one 52” HFTV, one 15” Laptop, and a free year of the Charter Bundle with includes Digital Cable with HD and a DVR, Charter High-Speed Internet and Charter Telephone. This prize will be given away at the end of the promotion.

To enter the drawing, all you have to do it go to Charter's website, and submit your story about how you use their services. Are you like my manager, and use the internet to keep in contact with a soldier, or a family member who lives across the country? Share your story, and you could be a winner.

You can also check out Charter on Facebook. I know I will. I spend a lot of time there. On Facebook, that is.
