I contacted the Online Chat reps who said it was not available. I then contacted the dedicated 1-877 number from the Ultra 60 promotion e-mail who said it was available, but it was $139 a month. They stated that despite it being available according to their database, they could not find a way to provision the service to my modem (Motorola SB6120). I went to the local Charter office Saturday afternoon with the e-mail flyer and the print out from the web site. They seemed to know nothing about 60 Meg availability in the Metro East despite the info I provided them. A rep could find the billing info for Ultra 60 on their system for my address, but again couldn't provision anything. Is the web site simply wrong or am I missing something? Currently I have a stable 20/2 connection (30/2 with the occasional PowerBoost), but a 60/5 connection would be much appreciated. Does anyone know anymore on rollouts of the 60/5 service in the St. Louis Metro East area?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23347739 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:52:48 EDT Re: Where's 60 MB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23339763 BoMarty : Sorry, but we can not locate your address and/or Charter may not offer services in your area.

Olivette is the primary for the St Louis Region if I am not mistaken. All of the local head ends route then through Olivette where the transport is and any piering they may have.

From how it was explained to me, Charter has setup the STL area like what they used to use for Airports/Airlines.

It shows a lot of us out here are serviced by "Olivette", which is pretty far away.

I was under the impression that we were serviced out of the St. Peters head-end, but I guess I was wrong.

Can you post the number you called to order your U60?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22764798 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 13:06:27 EDT Re: Where's 60 MB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22764734 edhoro7 : When you call Charter, you cannot call the generic 800 number to order services. You have to call the number Charter has been advertising on the radio and in print.

If you call the generic 800 number they will always say it isn't available.

I am sure a Charter Tech will correct me if I am wrong, but there is one main "Head End" servicing St Charles, St Peters, O'Fallon and possibly Wentzville. Wentzville could be serviced out of Chesterfield Valley and whichever head end they are connected to. But from my buddy who works at Charter and lives in O'Fallon, he says this whole area should be able to get it except for specific areas that are "more expensive to upgrade".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22764734 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 12:48:47 EDT Re: Where's 60 MB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22764715 edhoro7 : I am north of Hwy70, near the railroad tracks, close to Westhoff Park.

I'm one of the biggest proponents on this board for U60, and I've been using all of my avenues to get information to people here (although lately the Chater reps have been very helpful).

But by all means, go ahead and just whine about fiber until it comes - that's by far a more effective option.

DOCSIS 2.0 is limited to 38mbit, and that applies to head-end and end-user alike.

The post stating that everyone can get 60mbit is not taking the physical hardware into account. In his mind, he's talking about bandwidth aggregation (and it's not possible in D2 land).

Listen... that argument is tantamount to saying that I can buy 100 gallons of gas for my car right now - Quicktrip has thousands of gallons of gas that's not being used, and my car can burn that gas RIGHT NOW.

The error in this is that my gas tank (DOCSIS 2) is limited to 38 gallons (absolute maximum), so how do I fit that 100 gallons into my tank? Not to mention the other problems that I would need to tie into this analogy (certain pumps can only pump 38 gallons at a time, etc).

Regardless, you get the idea. I hope to hell that he doesn't challenge me with a bandwidth capacitor theory... :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22464955 Fri, 29 May 2009 15:17:26 EDT Re: Where's 60 MB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22462728 viper3431 :

The system is still learning and monitoring and making faster and faster decisions.
Either you've posted this as a joke or you really are clueless about routing standards and DOCSIS specifications. If the local plant is not running DOCSIS 3 then 60mbit isn't gonna happen no matter how you look at it.

The "learning system" you refer to is likely engineers migrating areas over to the new private backbone which has seen mixed bag results over in that thread.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22462728 Fri, 29 May 2009 09:13:24 EDT Re: Where's 60 MB? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22461884 Civrock :

From what I understand (which is very limited) , the Docsis 2.0 modems that everybody has right now simply can't handle 60 megs.

So that just invalidated your whole post.

Why? This new software will be able to redirect scattered 'off-time' residential bandwidth and funnel it (very close to real time) directly to small, selected areas of the country thereby "boosting" these areas up to, or very near 60Mbits(this is only early test runs)...while at the same time putting it back so as not to interrupt the lower paying customers. But as we all are seeing now, it's not running too smoothly. All the timeouts. The wild speed fluctuations(usually at certain times daily). And here is a big bomb for you all. everyone CAN get 60mb right now. The lines are all set. Don't believe me? Good for you. Call them and ask them to provision your modem to 60mb just for a minute so you can run a speed test for a hardware issue you are having(But be more imaginative than me)lol

The system is still learning and monitoring and making faster and faster decisions.

Supposedly the new model of the future will not contain unlimited bandwidth for all. So the ISP's new job is not going to be consumer driven, It will be a government branch that is responsible for the real-time distribution of the only pool of bandwidth that can exist. Sending it to ppl who need access to the net and monitors EVERYTHING you do because you are using bandwidth that (in the near future) becomes as accurately priced and packaged as any tangible item today... namely gasoline. Then the moment you log off the ISP's won't spill a drop of the precious bandwidth still in the bottom of your cup.

The future is all about managing in real-time the constant level of available bandwidth being used and recycled in a permanent state of quantity. It becomes the new gold. More powerful and sought after than even oil! That's the power of disconnecting any communication to and from anywhere for as long as they might feel the need.

That would not be surprising actually.
With all the issues Charter is having in bankruptcy court (with opposition, and some creditors [the WI workers who sued] among others it would not be surprising if it was converted to Chapter 7.
I do agree with with JPMorgan and the other bank about the change of control, considering Apollo will essentially control more of Charter than Paul Allan.
