I don't really get how the second one works, because surely it's the ISP that chooses which package you have and you pay it through them, not a third party company?

thats the only thing i havent find out, but i have  a friend taht got the second one, and he hasnt said anything about ths ISP:S but i think the ISP will be the same as the phone company.

If you do change, say to 'Charter' that you can't afford it any more, so they don't charge you for them to remove it :P If they know your changing company they will most probely charge you.
