16/2mb is nice and I will most likely make the bump however I would prefer that they drop qwest as a provider here in SC. I had great routing with ATT and low consistent latency, now that qwest has taken over most of the routes my connection is all over the place. |

I really want to share the enthusiasm. I do..but I know 16 meg won't get here for 2 years at least..it took Charter 2 YEARS to upgrade this area from 1.5 meg to 2 meg. I will buy it as usual but I am not holding my breath this time. |

| I know they have the capability here to upgrade to 16meg easy enough. Certain nights I will hit 16meg downloads off usenet for a few hours at a time. Not sure why its the same time frame.
I do wish they would offer something like 10meg/5meg though vs hardly moving upload speeds. |

I mean one good thing Charter has here in Worcester is 3 meg internet for 14.99 a month for 6 months. That is pretty damn good and cheap to me. I mean I remember paying Charter here in Worcester in 00 119.00 dollars a month for 1.5 down and 768 up. 14.99 is very good for 3meg for 6 months. |

I am all over 16/2 once it hits GSP-SC
I had lunch with my business rep on friday and he had not heard about 16/2 but that seems par for the course lately. Charter does not do a good job of communicating internally.
I like the 16/2 for my home use but what I am really looking forward to is business service upgrades. I have 1 fiber line and a couple of business coax lines that all need more bandwidth. Other providers are chomping at the bit to get my business but I will give charter a little longer. |

| Just got mine the day before yesterday (Fort Worth) and speeds have ranged from:
to
But it's mostly been below 10M on downstream and 1850-ish on the upstream. Those speeds may be worth the $49.99 promotional costs but I wouldn't pay $80/month for anything less than the fully advertised upload/download speeds. |

I noticed my speeds have increased a bit. i have the 5meg service, and i have been sustaining 4700-4800 download speeds its usually about 4400, and averaging 470-490 upload speeds which is usually around 450. thinking there upgrading the system, maybe? |
