| Charter is committing fraud at the moment in AL
They cannot even provide 1mb at night to the entire state of AL but continue to charge and not acknowledge a problem
For weeks
»only 3mb download on 16/2 plan Pelham,AL
Maybe they need to fix and provide current customers with actual reasonable service before they worry about this |

Cheaper than a T3 in the download category. Might as well call it fiber.  |

Yeah Right... |

@rr.com | ???
how is 5 Mbps up lame? I have somewhere in the 15Mbps down with only 768kbps up - sure I would like more - but most folks I know are on DSL with speeds around 384kbps up/down. |

DOCSIS3 cable is capable of up to 107MBps up. ADSL2 can only offer 896kb up.
In the future DOCSIS can be expanded for gigabit speeds as well. |

I got 10mbit down and 10mbit up with roadrunner. So to me, 60mbit down and only 5mbit up is really lame. |

Fix current service first.
I agree. When charter can provide pings that are acceptable to its customers and When they can provide a full 10 to 16 megs up and 1 meg down on a everyday consistant basis then im all for them increasing the download and upload speeds.
Fix whats broken and then worry about the rest. |

I think it's a little too late. They can barely keep current offers at advertised speeds. |

Here in Houston (4th largest city in the US), the highest speed Comcast offers is 8/2 for over $60/mo. |

Like, whoa!!
5M up is kind of lame actually. Charter never has given away the upload though.
I'm on their 5/512 and get advertised speeds constantly.
Heck, even Verizon has higher upload on slower download around here, and I CAN'T get their maximum speed here due to filters some where along the lines. I'm only 6,000 feet from anything.

DOCSIS isn't going to offer near 107Mbps per customer upstream for quite some time. |

Re: Better than Comcast
Comcast sells there 50 meg for $150. Who in there right mind would buy 60 meg service from charter and pay that much money? Charter can barely get there 5 meg speed going. |

I have the 10 meg package. I've tried the 16 meg and even Charter claims they have a long way to go to make the 16 meg service stable. I had tons of issues. Now they're going 60! Good luck with that. |

My modem, wait, I don't have a modem. Should I use my GPON ONT and router to call out my upload capabilities? I'm already at the gigabit speeds with the current technology and work towards next generation and hybrid PON's capable of reaching 10 gigabit speeds are already being tested. |
