Several insiders have informed us, and at least one tech has suggested as much in our forums, that Charter Communications is working on creating a 300 Mbps service tier. There's no word on pricing yet, but the company's goal is to keep pace on the marketing front after both Comcast and Verizon FiOS have announced 300 Mbps tiers in recent weeks. Verizon's 300 Mbps tier offers 65 Mbps upstream and clocks in at $205 a month. Comcast's 305 Mbps down, 75 Mbps up tier was recently announced at $300, but as we recently exclusively reported looks to be getting a significant price cut to $119 a month (bundled). Despite numerous flirtations with hard caps and overages, Charter still only enforces their caps in high-volume markets.
