Thank you for this info I was wondering when our area would get the internet speed upgrade but I read in St. Louise their 30Mbps is going to a hundred kind of weird that 60Mbps was suppose happen quite a while ago but already planning a 100 so not sure why a 60Mbps and not a 100Mbps. Another thing is Charter is adding more channels in our area Glendale, CA few new HD Channels but sadly mostly crappy OTA channels. One thing I am confused isn't the Glendale, CA area by end of this year going to be Comcast? I rather stay with Charter their internet is good but their cable is terrible like their DVR, Cable Guide and slow On Demand menu. |

I dont have their TV so I cant say. From what I've heard they want to launch all LA markets simultaneously, so maybe some areas need more work. |

I live in St Louis and just powered my modem off for a minute and power back on and am still seeing 35 mb/s download speeds. One of my coworkers got switched over a few days that lives 5 miles from me and he's getting the 100 mb/s speeds. Hope the switch comes quick for me! |

I wonder if and when NE WI customers will get switched over. Not a peep about any change from charter through mail or email |

Still seeing those 30/4 speeds here too. O'Fallon IL. I see people around me have reported increases and the charter CSR said I should have the boost already. Went through re-provisioning and still have 30/4. Power cycled many times. |

Which model of modem do you have? You may need to swap your modem. |

As Jazzemt says, you may need a modem swap. TD |

SB6121. Compatibility was already confirmed by the CSR |

SB6121 only supports up to 4 channels of downstream bonding which has a *theoretical* max speed of 172Mbps.
Charter may be (my guess they would have to) using 8 channel bonding to achieve the capacity to providing 100Mbps. |

4 channels is perfectly capable of providing 100meg. If it wasn't, I would still see something close to 100 and I'm seeing 30.. Once again the CSR checked our equipment and verified that it is capable of receiving 100meg |

You need a 8 channel modem. 4 is capable but 8 is what you need. |

I don't "need" to upgrade the modem. The extra 4 channels from 8 channel bonding isn't gonna change much aside from during congestion (which I haven't seen in my area much). |

I'm running 100Mbps (near Alton) on an SB6120, which is capable of using 4 up and 4 down.... so, No.. an 8 channel device is NOT required. |

Just chatted with a tech that was checking my signal yesterday. He mentioned that for my area (southern Twin Cities, MN) they expect spectrum will go live at the end of September/early October. |

Just got a message left on my voice mail from Charter telling me they are going all digital and i will need a set top box for every TV so i guess the upgrade must be coming soon. Just received mail that the digital transition will be July 15th. |

I received the mailer the other day saying that Charter Spectrum was now available in my area. I live in Oxford, MI. |

I have the sb6121 on TWC 100mbps plan and it doesn't work I get 50 down with it and you need a 8x4 modem. In the future don't listen to the CSR they don't have a clue what they are talking about. |

In the future don't listen to the CSR they don't have a clue what they are talking about. 4 channels can theoretically get 150 Mbps. Even taking into account that theoretical maximums are never reached, one should expect 67% of maximum. |

I did some research and found many cases of people getting 100meg service with their 6121. I think I got a bad CSR when I called, so I'll try again and see if a different person will be of more help. |

I got a 6120 and 100mb is fine on it. |

said by BlakePaulson That sucks... well last as usual with charter. Again I wish our local utility would do FTTH but they never will They have no incentive to. I'd stick with Frontier DSL if they had a higher speed, but 768k upload is basically worthless. I know higher speed DSL is doable since CenturyLink has 40/5 service in the Twin Cities. That's FTTN. |

When I had 100Mb service, that was the modem I was using.
I'm in west St. Louis county near Manchester and 270 but still only getting 30Mb after rebooting again this morning. I have the DPC3000 modem. |
