Charter Telephone(TM) Recognized by Electronic Security Leader ADT As Service That Can Support Monitoring of Its Security Systems

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2006--Charter Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHTR) has announced that Charter Telephone(TM) service has been recognized by ADT Security Services, a unit of Tyco Fire & Security, as a primary method of alarm transmission to ADT's 24-hour customer monitoring centers.

Charter Telephone, carried on Charter's privately managed network, has tripled its customer base in the past year and today, passes more than 6 million homes. "Our phone customers count on us to deliver a reliable connection every day, for every type of residence," said Charter Telephone Senior Vice President and General Manager, Ted Schremp. "ADT's recognition further validates our collective commitment to customer safety."
