Are you suggesting that the customers haven't made such statements or requests?
Im not stating that. Im saying that im sure Charter made their decision on offering theses speeds to keep up with competition.

Of course it's because of competition. But if the customers aren't asking for bigger throughputs, then competition would be irrelevant assuming other variable are equal.

Re: What you expect Charter to *do* something?

Not necessarily always true. These companies are out to make money as you know. What better way is there to make more money? that's right, OFFER MORE. That little email that Charter sent out is only a way to fluff up the customers to lead them to believe that charter cares about what the customer says.

Much of these announcements are little more than a dick waving contest for the benefit of Wall Street. Customer wants are usually at the bottom of the priority list.

Wall Street cares about profit margins and the bottom line, they don't care about 16 Mbps vs 10 Mbps...unless it translates to new and/or retained subscribers.

That's what profit margins and bottom lines lead to

There are several examples of companies with no profits and negative bottom lines which Wall Street absolutely wet themselves over. Hype drives the market, not necessarily results.
