Harrisonville, MO
| Charter Servicability Area - need advice please So I just purchased a home in the 64701 area code (Harrisonville MO) and went to get service installed.
Despite talking with 4 different reps and being told I was in the Charter service area during my contract negotiations (I will not even go into how that effected my purchasing decision) I come to find out when I actually went to order the service that I am actually out of the service area by a mere 2000 feet (yes less than 1/2 of one mile).
The next step is to talk to the "servicability department" and fill out a form to see what can be done and being told that there may be a charge involved (unknown at this point).
There is a new subdivision being built not far from me so I think Charter would be interested in tapping the area. Regardless, I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience, what costs might be involved, what I can possibly do or what the outcome was.
I am not opposed to paying some money to get a 20mbps pipe to my house!
Luckily Embarq does service the area, but the best service they can provide is 5mbps/768 which is less than 1/3 of what I am used to.
I play Warcraft, X360, etc and usually have at least 3 or 4 computers running online (other family members and such) so I think I need a really fat pipe >
Thanks in advance. |
