The main page does not list the speeds/prices for the internet services.

I'm writing a report for the front page that's going to compare eight major providers (4 cable, 4 baby bells) and explore their prices, and how easy it is to find them.

Can we work to at least establish a range of speeds/tiers?

Cox and Time Warner offer different speeds/tiers per area, but the names of those tiers are at least consistent.....

Just go and put your area in, I think charter has been standardizing it across the country..

I don't live in a Charter area....

Can you guys tell me what tiers you're on (downstream & upstream) and what you're paying so I can establish a range?

Was just looking at that, thanks!

Can someone use their CHarter area address to log in and check upstream speeds and prices?

In the southern cali area (at least in Long Beach) the packages and prices are:

3000/256 (or might be 384up) $39.99/mo (i think)
5000/512 $51.99/mo
10000/1000 $69.99/mo

Ok. Do these speed/price ranges look accurate for unbundled service offered to new customers?

•Charter HSI 3.0: 3 Mbps/256kbps : $39.99-$54.99•Charter HSI 5.0: 5Mbps/512kbps : $51.99-$59.99•Charter HSI 10.0: 10Mbps/1Mbps : $69.99-$79.99

Does anyone pay prices or see speeds that are outside these ranges?

It looks like speeds are consistent (not the case with Cox & TWC) while prices are not.

Can someone simply explain Charter's bundled discount pricing? (how much off for adding VoIP, or adding TV?)

"Can someone simply explain Charter's bundled discount pricing? (how much off for adding VoIP, or adding TV?)"

Good luck on that !
I would not be surprised if there were hundreds of "Special" deals and discounts floating around . As well as the prices on the web site , there seem to be all kinds of promos advertised in the papers and by direct mail .

The closest I could come would be to say that the more you sign up for , the cheaper each part becomes .

Currently digital cable , 5 meg internet , and phone seems to be going for around $100 plus junk fees a month for 1 year .That's for Madison , I am sure it varies by region .

Well I'm interested in the average. For instance on average, you get $5 off per month for bundling two services with other providers, etc....

Going to the site doesn't necessarily give you an answer either since if I go and put I my address it says only 3 meg and 5 meg are available. I know for FACT that 10 meg has been available for 6 months now.

They really make it difficult to figure out savings by bundling services. This is what I have put together as my best guess looking around the site:

After the promotional rate, cable TV and 5.0 internet is 109.80 per month. It is called the "Big and 5 Mbps".

The "Big and 3 Mbps" is $102.98 after the promo period.

It looks like the cable TV is $59.99 per month alone. If that is the case it appears that combining services saves about $10 to $11 per month.

Charter does charge $10 more if you only have internet service.

Cool, thanks. So bundling TV saves users around $10. What about the triple play? (Doesn't Charter offer VoIP?)
