Suffolk cable subscribers will continue to be served by Charter Communications.

After more than two years of negotiations and threatened franchise revocations, the city and cable provider struck a deal that enables charter to continue serving Suffolk residents.

In a surprise move Wednesday, the Suffolk City Council voted 7-0 to approve a memorandum of understanding stating that Charter will pay the city $340,000 in fines for missed deadlines and penalties.

The company will also issue regular customer service reports to the city.

&uot;The consultants said we have a first-class system and cable service has shown marked improvements,&uot; said Assistant City Manager Cindy Rohlf. &uot;We are very satisfied with the progress that’s been made… and we’re looking forward to getting things behind us and moving on.&uot;

Matt Favre, operations manager in Charter’s Suffolk office, shared a similar sentiment.

&uot;I’m glad we were able to work together to resolve the issue … and reach a compromise,&uot; Favre said.
