1 edit | They told me November 2nd Called in yesterday for the Victorville/Hesperia area of southern california and a guy checked with a supervisor and confirmed that November 2 would be their official date.
I can't wait, as long as the price is the same as what i'm paying for my 10mb plan.
*edit...I guess I didn't need to post this, I didn't realize that was my post they linked to in the article.  | |

| Re: They told me November 2nd Charter upgraded me from 3 to 5mb yay. ZTMIKE, you are lucky with the speeds you are getting. Based on the speed tests »/archive it looks like Comcast is giving burst on both download and upload. For the average user pushing photos and downloading apps, this would be GREAT to have. | |

| | | | Re: They told me November 2nd I believe they are in the same market as far as Charter is concerned. We have the same channel lineup, and we all got our channels realigned on the same date, but I don't know what they will do as far as offering internet speed upgrades. I guess the best thing would be to call them and see. | |

Michigan City, IN | Comcast? Where the hell is Comcast at, at getting new faster tiers out? I would upgrade if they offered at least 1mbps upload.
Upgrading from 384 to 768upload is not worth the 10-15 dollars price hike.

Arlington, VA | Re: Comcast? The 8Mbps download is satisfactory. The 768kbps upload is still good, but something more comparable to verizon's FiOS would be nice. 1-1.5Mbps upload would be a whole lot better.
I have Charter in Worcester, MA. Looking forward to the speedboost, I'll post when I get it.
Is there going to be a map showing the upgraded areas? | |
|
| | | Comcast is investing in sandvine instead 
also maybe when Comcast gets that completely implemented throughout their networks they will then give up an upgrade only to tighten sandvines grip on all traffic thus making the upgrade pointless.

kudos:3 | Why does every thread about anything internet always revert back to Comcast?
ComcastRick was just accused, yesterday, of anytime something comcast is discussed that he brings up the TOS and Servers... Here is an example of a Charter thread and now we go off topic to something about Comcast?
ComcastReports.com?

Glen Carbon, IL | Does This Affect Business HSI? I'm wondering about that, as I use Business HSI.
I'm inclined to think not, since you have to sign a contract. Mine doesn't expire until May, though it's just as well since there's no DSL here. | |

| | I Called I called yesterday and found out that Cali would be first week of Nov. (was told the 3rd), and the east coast (or Upstate South Carolina) would be Jan-Feb sometime. from what the CSR told me East coast would be pretty much last. | |

Arlington, VA | Re: I Called I'm kinda confused..
We haven't had 3MB service for a while. We only have 5MB and 10MB service.
If we already have 5 meg and 10 meg service, does this mean there will be no upgrades in Worcester, MA? | |
|
| | | | Re: I Called no everyone eventually. if you have 10meg in your area u be eligible sooner or later | |

| | Madison, WI Got a letter from charter raising the lowest tier to 5Mbps from 3Mbps. The top end is still 10 Mbps, but the price went up! | |

Madison, WI | Re: Madison, WI I'm also in Madison and I haven't gotten a letter yet, even though I just got my bill.
I talked to a lady at corporate CS today, and she said 16 meg would be here around the first of the year. She also said that the price of my 10 meg would DROP by $10. Making my current (pre-tax) monthly bill of $139.96 drop to $129.96 when 16 meg comes to town. | |

| | | Re: How would this work for me? said by KoRnGtL15:I have there 3mb plan but on the 5mb preview until Jan 08. But the thing is a month or so ago. I called in and told them to keep me on the 5mb plan. I didn't want to go back to the 3mb plan. So, would I be upgraded to the 10mb service? I'm wondering the same thing. Don't know when my 5Mb preview runs out though.
Probably won't upgrade to 10MB if it's not a free upgrade anyway, as I'm to cheap to pay much more than $40 a month for just internet. My life isn't so hectic that I can't wait 2 minutes to download an album or maybe 15 minutes to download a Linux distro, or something.

Pompton Plains, NJ | They've come a long way... Since 3M/256K, but can they hold a stable speed this high? | |

Mid Tenn | Think they've bumped me already. I was on the 10MB plan until last month. I dropped it to compensate adding HD to my bill. My speed never changed after going back to the 5MB plan and I was just waiting to see if they had actually changed it. My bill came and it shows I'm on the 5MB tier but I'm still getting the same speeds as before. (This speedtest is about my average even when I paid for the 10)

| New Charter speeds this week Very interesting ,Charter has provided Cable TV but not Internet service in my area.About three weeks ago the local paper ran an ad for Charter that cable Internet would be offered soon ,but no date listed for deployment.I have not seen any updates or ETA for deployment of new service, they sure like to be sneaky about things don't they.Still waiting to see what speeds they will offer! | |
|
|
1 edit | Re: New Charter speeds this week No fair, Atlantic Broadband bought out charter out here and if they didnt do that id be on the 10Mb package now... stupid ass atlantic bb with there top speed at 5Mbps for the past 4 years cause theres NO competition around here for them to bump up the speed
