Charters new tiers

To me this appears that Charter is taking/modifying a page from the Cell Phone Carries and instead of charging more for "data usage" Charter is calling this a "speed upgrade" to compensate for the larger use in data in most households.

Sure the lower speed tiers work for a lot of people and meets their budget, but no matter what tier you are at if you are using a lot of data your speed tier doesn't matter.

I know in my household, we have anywhere from up to 6 internet devices connected at one time from checking email, web browsing, facebook, online games, streaming music etc.. I haven't checked what my data usage is, but I bet it's up there.

Do I need 30 or a 100 Mbps probably not yet, but given my choices I'll stick with Charter.

You might not need 30 meg speed but you might need the increase in cap you also get. 15 meg was capped at 100 GB a month. 30 meg is 250 GB. Considering the new 30 meg price is $2 more than the old 15 meg price I think an extra 150 GB for $2 is quite a deal.
