Increased FIOS Speeds and / or more package offerings along with new prices. Well only if FIOS feels the heat or rather need. But please Docsis 3.0 is barley a match and certainly not a threat. As for Charter having a few years? Well at least they're optimistic. |

OK, at the 10/1 if you transfer to the 16/2 tier, it's $25 more per month plus $35 connection fee. How much are they going to rape customers in these markets for this? Not only that but history dictates Charter will screw this up for a good 5 years before some sort of stability is reached. |

| They'll try and milk out as much money as possible. Look at the Comcast 3.0 test market in Minn. Their charging over 100 bucks a month for 50/5 - and you know they'll have other pricing tiers.
Personally charter should just be a leader, and not wait for Comcast to do the pricing model - like every single MSO does. |

| St Louis?
I know St Louis is usually not one of Charter's first upgrade markets but I wonder this time. A lot of my contacts within Charter have been in a ton of meetings for the last month and there have been a lot more "maintenance" outages for the last month or so as well(the 1am-3am variety). The last time these events coincided was when they were bringing 16/2 online. On the other hand it could be that they are just getting ready to eliminate a bunch of analog channels (digital only). |

Want to compete with fios comcast? you need to offer something better in the UPLOAD side. hell Cablevision offers 5mbps upload on docsis 2.0 on BOOST for some $65/month. fios' 50/50 is some ~$90/month.
lets see: 10 times the upload for $50 less and no caps unlike any cableco. cable vs fios is STILL a no-brainer.
