We're getting an upgrade to 7000/512+ when Charter is still stuck at 3000/256 in most areas.
You're right, that's why I dropped Charter 4 years ago, and went with SBC, now AT&T.

Someone will eventually. Charter, on their current path, is heading for bankruptcy. TWC is a likely candidate.
If Charter does fall apart, they're more likely to go out piecemeal -- large parts of their operations in the Southeast, for instance, make much more sense for Comcast and Cox (not to mention the fact that both TWC and Cox cannot own cable systems in the Atlanta area.)

Cox would probably snag them as it's the only other Cable company that I know is near the section of Charter I'm thinking of.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15624658 Mon, 06 Mar 2006 14:17:03 EDT Re: Please buy Mediacom http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15624637 roamer1 :

The problem is the territories that Mediacom owns.
Mediacom is one of the most inconsistent cable companies I've ever seen -- they're as inconsistent if not more so than Charter. At least they aren't uniformly terrible like some smaller companies (Northland, Cebridge, etc.) are...

The problem is the territories that Mediacom owns. I think TW would invest a lot less time and money than Mediacom even if they have more resources. This was the problem with TCI and AT&T; as far behind as Mediacom looks, these areas were even farther behind under AT&T. Unfortunately, I think Mediacom's management of their territories is going downhill. I just don't think TW or a similar company would make any real improvements though.
One of the biggest problems though with Mediacom is that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The better a franchise is managed by local government, the better the outcomes they get. While service might become more even, it would probably just become evenly bad.
