Re: [HSI] What does everyone think of the new $200 activation fe Well i was thinking about jumping to Charter since my other ISP has no plans to upgrade but man $200 might be a bit steep for me. And 30 Mb isn't really that much faster then 10 Mb is it? So i might hold off for now. Just how often does Charter upgrade their speed? |

I'd much rather be at 30mb than 10.... When you take into account Netflix HD streams, or similar services that 10mb would fill up pretty quick. |

If you're not sure, I still think [depending on your usage] you might see a difference between 10 and 30M.  |

A) $200 fee only applies to 100 Mbps tier.
B) Yes 30 Mbps is faster than 10 Mbps. Actually more a difference than 100 Mbps is to 30 Mbps.
C) lately Charter has upped speeds about once a year. 30 meg was 18 meg until February. |

I'd much rather be at 30mb than 10.... When you take into account Netflix HD streams, or similar services that 10mb would fill up pretty quick. Depends on how many people are using that connection and how many streams/downloads/tabs, you have open.
