Charter Communications (CHTR.US) stock is up nearly 17% in today's session after the company reported second-quarter results that exceeded analysts' expectations, with free cash flow being a particularly positive surprise in the report. Moreover, Charter's loss of broadband internet subscribers in the second quarter was significantly lower than the consensus of 230,000 (actual loss was 149,000), suggesting that the end of the Affordable Connectivity program had a more controlled impact than previously feared.
