[Upgrades] Charter has 8 chanel bonding STL Metro-East

Within the last 2 weeks or so, Charter has upgraded to 8 channel bonding in the St Louis area as my SB6141 indicates. Up/down speeds with my 100 mbps service is the same however.

Still 4 channels in the Cahokia area. SB6141.

8 in Collinsville ...

8 Channels in Belleville since August 29

There are no speed upgrades associated with the 8ch bonding.

I saw one post that indicated during periods of network congestion, those with 8 channels still tend to maintain subscribed speeds. I just got 102.26 mbps down at 1645 which isn't typical at that time of the day. BTW, my Head End is in Maryville and not Belleville.

I can't see the SMC business account modems but one residential account modem is reporting 8 channel bonding.
One thing I found interesting is the time and day they did this, all accounts dropped connection for a very brief time and when they came back up, non had any channel bonding at all.
I had to go around and power cycle all the modems including the SMC's on the business accounts. The SMC's usually have a blue LED indicating channel bonding but when the connections dropped, the SMC's came back with simple green LED's for the DS indicator indicating no bonding.

I guess this is also 8 bonded channels? zip 63011

If you are in O'fallon you are being fed from the Belleville headend.

Charter 100/5 Mbps has a 500 GB cap. I would hope that the U-verse 45 mbps tier would increase the cap from the current 250 GB and that your suggested Charter offering would also have a higher than 250 GB cap of their 30 mbps service. BTW, the O'Fallon, IL CO supports the new AT&T 45 mbps tier.

Careful with that. I have a Maryville head end and an O'Fallon CO at a location ~a mile north of the O'Fallon city limits. My posted location here was based on my NNX.

There is no Maryville headend.

But you should get a stronger connection.

I'm in Florissant/Hazelwood area with a Zoom modem (owned). I has 8 downstream channels, but is only bonding at 4.
