I noticed this because it's open and shows up, with a very strong signal, on my Mac's Airport.
I also had noticed a truck from Charter Communication was there when the new folks moved in.
Hmmm.
It was Sunday morning. There probably wasn't a lot of traffic on the 'Net. I logged onto the neighbor's Wi-Fi (It's open, after all) and ran a speed test.
Here are the results for Charter cable:
Then I logged back on to our WiMax-based system from SpeedNet:
I see no reason to change ISPs.

it seems that everything Charter does fails spectacularly.
That's exceptionally bad, especially for cable. That super-long ping time doesn't bode well. It makes me wonder how many hops it's taking. I'd run a traceroute from both, see how many hops it takes to do a lookup to a known IP address, like Google's.
Unless you have a hard-wired connection into their cable modem head-end, your test is not exactly valid. Trust me on this one Mark.
