Charter to upgrade Minnesota network by $7 million in Charter HSI/CATV http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22638973 en Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:52:36 EDT Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:52:36 EDT Re: Charter to upgrade Minnesota network by $7 million http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22698554 pico64 : I am actually on the 16 Meg Tier plan, but I was told it really is the 20 Meg plan in Alexandria. Apparently not all of MN is ready for 20/2. I pay 72.99 for the plan and I live in your area by tastefully simple - about 1.5 miles away.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22698554 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:11:37 EDT Re: Charter to upgrade Minnesota network by $7 million http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22667758 BlakePaulson :

I'm getting 20/2 now in Alex and I'm constantly downloading between 19 & 20. It's great, 8 Gig an hour.
Do you have to ask for it? I just recently locked into a price guarantee for 2 years and when I asked them if they had 20meg service they told me it wasn't available (this just being in June.)

I don't really care as 10meg service does the job (with 3 directv dvr's downloading content I can still stream HD just fine.)

Also how much do you pay and about where in Alex are you located? I'm over by tastefully simple...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22667758 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:45:44 EDT Re: Charter to upgrade Minnesota network by $7 million http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22667483 pico64 : I'm getting 20/2 now in Alex and I'm constantly downloading between 19 & 20.

Is Charter ever going to add channels (SD or HD), upgrade their boxes to mpeg-4, or upgrade their network to Docsis 3.0? They haven't upgraded a thing here in Upstate South Carolina.
I believe mpeg-4 is a long ways off... that would mean new headends, new boxes and a lot of money.

I think docsis 3 will get rolled out long before mpeg-4.

Prior to getting rid of my TV service from charter they were adding more HD... but once I got my own home and could get DirecTV it was bye bye charter for TV. Love DirecTV so far.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22657068 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:16:20 EDT Re: Charter to upgrade Minnesota network by $7 million http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22653881 trish2 : Is Charter ever going to add channels (SD or HD), upgrade their boxes to mpeg-4, or upgrade their network to Docsis 3.0?

I'd also say 50% of that as well will be mismanaged by Charter. And more importantly what will 7million get them? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643399 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 07:29:02 EDT Re: Charter to upgrade Minnesota network by $7 million http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22642282 anon : $7 million isn't really that much is the world of communication technology.

I'm guessing that means 20/2 service sometime soon.

Unfortunately TV was too little/too late (I have 3 DVR's and was not going to spend $60 a month on 3 DVR's that only have 160GB's of storage... I spent $16 a month on 3 HD DVR's with 500GB's of hard drive space and got one of them free, had to pay $199 ea for the other two but it's still a better deal.) Also the fact that they are trying to bring more HD channels is definitely a good sign.

If they bring 20meg service I'll grab that but even if 60meg service is available I don't think I'd go for that (too spendy.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22639445 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:25:18 EDT Charter to upgrade Minnesota network by $7 million http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22638973 willmarguy : Just read news release that Charter is investing $7 million to upgrade network in Minnesota.
