Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

[OT] Internet Service Provider
by Chuck Noyes
Hi All,
I'm getting fed up with Verizon's inability to fix their DSL service - it's been incredibly slow for the last couple of months. Customer support
has been no help. So, I'm curious what ISP people like (and don't like). I'd prefer a local one, but at this point, I'm not
fussy. I'm looking for something reliable. We have Charter as the cable TV provider. I don't know if I want to go that route.
I don't want to start a "religious war" - I'm just looking for information so I can make an informed decision.
Thanks,
-Chuck

Re: [Wlug] [OT] Internet Service Provider

Since Charter's modem is intended to connect to an Ethernet network and
you wireless router is intended to connect to an ethernet network,
then all should work fine together. That is the benefit of a
standard.

I am happy with Charter. I use their Modem, but my own
wireless router.
I can't get Verizon DSL out here in the boondocks, so once I
went with Charter for the internet, I did the phone with them,
too.

jQuery help?
by John Stoffel
Anyone using jQuery (javascript) to program some client side
elements in a web page? For example, I'm looking to have a drop down
with a vary number of records to display on a page, and I want to
update the display without reloading the page.
So I'm playing with using 'Mojolicious::Lite' and some jQuery, but I'm
hitting some brick walls.
Anyone care to look at this code below and tell me why I don't see my
selected values from the two different <select> pairs showing up in
the named <div> pairs?
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Based on: http://api.jquery.com/change/
use Mojolicious::Lite;
get '/top' => sub {
my $self = shift;
$self->stash(x => 10);
$self->render('top');
};
app->secret('sweets');
app->start;
