[CBN] Charter Business Speed Upgrades (St. Louis)

Found out that tomorrow charter is going to provide a "free" speed increase for CBN customers.

30/4 goes to 60/4
50/5 goes to 80/5
100/5 goes to 100/7

Static ip pricing will be changing to:

1 ip - $15
5 ip - $25
13 ip - $50

If you have the 50 or 100mg now and you have a free static then you are grandfathered in with the free static.

Definitely not too impressed with the new CBN speed upgrades especially not on upload speed.

7 up is better than 5 up, but until the upstream speeds hit 10 megs, I'm not impressed.

Is St Louis all digital yet? If not, it seems weird that they'd do this upgrade before they go all digital. Also makes me worry that's as far as they are going to go.

if they have 8 downstream channels for internet activated yes it is possible to increase the speeds but they may run into the same issue they were having with 4 downstream channels too congested like before? I know with TWC my area hasn't had any congestion problems even after when we got 8 channel bonding now my area has 8 down 4 up bonding with 3 QAM64 6.4MHz wide carriers along with a single 3.2MHz wide upstream

This I'd like to know as well, is it just STL? No speed changes here in CA on CBN 30/4.

They are still working to provide a minimal service to all residential customers (ie: the 30/4 standard package) to their entire network. Channel bonding and other speed upgrades are on the back burner, and typically only affect major markets anyway.
