| I have the 10/1 package in Riverside, CA. I rarely dip below my rated speed, and if I do, it's still rare to see less than 8mb/s. Charter has been amazingly-reliable for me; surprising given some of the past reviews for this area.
I'd be one of the first in line for a 16/2, I tell you what! | |

@snet.net | No thanks.. I'll Stick with DSL I think I'll stick with my DSL provider, which allows me to run my web server and enjoy FAR more benefits (such as reliable connection) than Charter ever did for me in the past. | |

| Ya, happy to say I'm Charter-free at the moment. In Ft. Worth, they block VPN traffic unless you have a Charter Business Class account. My VPN and tunnelling connections would shutdown after just a few seconds and kill my BitTorrent downloads. I was forced to switch to AT&T DSL. I later built my own Media Center PC and now watch HDTV over the air and all the stuff I watch on cable is downloaded via BT. If Charter were ever to stop blocking VPN traffic here for regular connections instead of exploiting people into a more expensive business connection... and brought the price down for a 16Mbps connection to a price close to what FiOS offers, I'd reconsider. That $80/month price has to be almost 2x what you'd pay for the same speed tier for FiOS... ya Charter you can match the speed but can you match the price? THAT'S being competitive. | |

| Re: No thanks.. I'll Stick with DSL First of all, you and I are in totally different franchises. The only thing in common the Charter here shares with the Charter in your neck of the woods is the name.
Secondly, I never said it was BitTorrent traffic I have an issue with. I said "they block VPN traffic"... I use a VPN tunnelling service in Sweden to hide my IP from the **AA. I started when I received my first warning letter when I was with Grande Communications over a year ago. Charter's Ft. Worth franchise blocks VPN traffic on residential accounts... I never said BitTorrent traffic. I confirmed this on my connection and 2 of my neighbor's connections. I was also told this was true when the Charter guy came out to disconnect me after I cancelled the service. | |

@twtelecom.net | Re: No thanks.. I'll Stick with DSL I'm not sure about Charter blocking VPN. I also live in Fort Worth and regularly use VPN from home. I have a Linksys point to point VPN that is always on, and I also frequently use Cisco's VPN client to connect to work remotely. | |

As I was typing, I went to grab a speedtest to post here and some crazy outage happened and I got a new IP? Maybe they fixed my connection? Lets hope so...
