Re: I hope it's my city!
I phoned them once about their 5 meg service and they told me it would increase my rate at that time from 39.95 to 59.95, so I told them to shove it. Then when their rep came to my door offering to lower my rates and I asked him about it he told me it was only for business accounts? So I am not sure how or where they have it but I am sure I wont pay 60 bucks a month for it. |

The "investments" I am talking about are/is the necessary infrastructure for higher speeds. We out here in CA keep hearing that our network cant support higher speeds (though I thought that the CA network was supposed to be one of the better ones--however, posts from the Inland Empire area folks say otherwise). Charter has done nothing to roll out higher speeds here.
I thought St Louis had 5MB--at least some areas do?
I have SBC DSL here at work and have a 360-plus upload on their *basic* service. Charter's upload is just crap. All around me are suburbs with Cox and Time Warner and even the lowly Adelphia--all have higher speeds than I. As a graphic designer who works from home at times, I am tired of taking *forever* to upload large files to an ftp server  |
