Re: Anyone in St. Louis - Charter or AT&T Uverse?
I have a choice, and after looking into Cable TV, Uverse pricing vs Charter, Charter was way more cheaper for same services. Internet wise, Charter Ultra60, Uverse, "up to" 18 meg.
Plus I have been satified with Charter internet since 1999. |

The DVR on Charter sucks. Charter does not provide the Big Ten Network (big for me since I went to a BIG Ten school). Also Charter does not have the NFL Network.

Charter has been serving parts of Saint Louis since the mid-90's. TCI sold to AT&T, which then sold to Charter. |

| thats good to know...I was going to college out of state in Ohio in the mid 1990's and I thought St. Louis was way behind in technology because they did not offer cable Internet at the house my parents were staying in (Creve Coeur area). I believe at the time they first had TCI, than AT&T bought them out and finally Charter came into the picture. I always thought St. Louis was not much of a tech city because when I was going to college 1995 and on, we did not have cable internet (at my parents house) nor were there any U Scan available at the grocery stores

1 edit | 1 way cable if I remember.
download 128k-Charter Cable
UPloaded from Earthlink telephone wire. For me that was 26K thru the telephone wire.
But, this is the neat part, You got one Earthlink email account!
Weeeeeeeeeeee
When Charter was down, you could use Earthlink for both up and down.
Weeeeeeeeeeeee
"can I ask what price you are paying with Charter and what do you get for that price?"
When u verse first came out in Nov 2007, Charter just game me the package price. I didnt not even ask for it $59.99 for everything
one Year later, everything for $79.99 This is the price U Verse can not get to. |
