do you use Charter Communications for your ISP? if so, you hold no secrets to your online activity in all its provided provisions

"Charter Communications, one of the nation's largest ISPs, plans to begin eavesdropping on customers' web surfing activity, to help web advertisers deliver targeted ads.

In letters being sent to some of its 2.7 million high-speed internet customers, Charter is billing its new web-tracking program as an "enhancement" for customers' web surfing experience. The letters were first reported by a BroadbandReports.com user on Sunday. The pilot program is set to begin next month." - http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/05/charter-to-inse.html

I have always been biased against Charter and all of their provided services.  This may be the nudge that some of you need to switch to an ISP with policies that protect, and not advertise the private uses of any paid (with hard earned money) services they offer.
