Here is a LinkedIn tip I learned today

With in Linkedin:

In Settings, then Profile and Status Updates, mainly keep the option "No, do not notify anyone and do not include me in company updates" checked and then about once or every few days then go and check the "Yes, notify my connections and show significant profile updates on my company's profile" and it would clear things out.

This helps avoid those pesky "Bob Smith has an updated profile (Industry, Headline)" and  "Bob Smith is now connected to Jane Doe" posts more hidden on other people's network Activity pages. 

Charter Communications; A Satisfied Customer

Continuation of the issue on the post: Charter TV Issues. You tell me. Is it a bait and switch?

Here is the response I received from Eric the Social Media Communications Manager at Charter Communications: 

Good Morning John,

Thanks for taking the time to send me this information. I reviewed the account, and was able to get you those additional channels and reduce the account by $5 per month.

You were paying $60.90 (before taxes) for you Charter Internet service, Basic TV, and a Digital Box.

Breakdown:

·         Internet = $34.99

·         Basic TV = $19.99

·         Digital Converter = $5.00

·         Broadcast TV Service Charge = $.92

o   Total = $60.90

Because we no longer have a promotion for a free Digital Converter, which is what I think caused the initial error, I was able to reduce the Basic TV charge to $9.99 for 12 months, and then I added the Digital View which is an additional $5, net result is a $5 savings.

Breakdown:

·         Internet = $34.99

·         Basic TV = $9.99

·         Digital Converter = $5.00

·         Digital View = $5.00

·         Broadcast TV Service Charge = $.92

o   Total = $55.90

The monthly total is before taxes, but is does reflect a $5 savings for the next 12 months, so I hope this is an acceptable resolution for you. Please let me know if there is anything else we can help with.

Thanks, Eric
