So far the service has remained solid. They also lowered my bill $15/month and I got more channels. Can't complain yet.:)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14689736 Sun, 30 Oct 2005 01:35:00 EDT Re: I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14689923 Axekick : I phoned them once about their 5 meg service and they told me it would increase my rate at that time from 39.95 to 59.95, so I told them to shove it. Then when their rep came to my door offering to lower my rates and I asked him about it he told me it was only for business accounts? So I am not sure how or where they have it but I am sure I wont pay 60 bucks a month for it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14689923 Sun, 30 Oct 2005 01:25:30 EDT Re: I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14685147 HappyBunny : I love how nobody is begging Charter NOT to sell their area... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14685147 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 11:37:12 EDT Re: I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14684125 Axekick : I live in the St. Louis Metro East (Illinois) and have 3000/256 internet through Charter along with one of their most basic cable packages (around 80 channels) and they just lowered my monthly bill from 39.99(plus taxes) per month to 17.08(including taxes) per month for switching to electronic billing and signing a one year contract? They told me it was a limited promotion for the entire St. Louis area. Seems there has to be more to it than that? Charter sucks, but for 17 dollars per month including the television channels I am suddenly content with them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14684125 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 05:38:49 EDT Re: I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14680054 HappyBunny : The "investments" I am talking about are/is the necessary infrastructure for higher speeds. We out here in CA keep hearing that our network cant support higher speeds (though I thought that the CA network was supposed to be one of the better ones--however, posts from the Inland Empire area folks say otherwise). Charter has done nothing to roll out higher speeds here.

I thought St Louis had 5MB--at least some areas do?

I have SBC DSL here at work and have a 360-plus upload on their *basic* service. Charter's upload is just crap. All around me are suburbs with Cox and Time Warner and even the lowly Adelphia--all have higher speeds than I. As a graphic designer who works from home at times, I am tired of taking *forever* to upload large files to an ftp server :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14680054 Fri, 28 Oct 2005 16:18:47 EDT Re: I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14678142 TekSomniaK : What "investments" are you talking about. St. Louis isn't seeing anything you aren't. We're still at 3.0/256 as well. Our upload rate is absolutely horrific compared to everyone using other services. All I keep hearing is Charter doesn't have the resources, which explains the entire selling of assets. It's pathetic.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14678142 Fri, 28 Oct 2005 12:00:02 EDT Re: I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14671919 shawn01606 :

Charter has been great for me for 5 years! Could do with more speed, sure, but my connection is rock solid as advertised.
My experience with Charter has been the same for over five years as well. I have had very good luck with charter but I would really like better speed (at a price that is cost effective).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14671919 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 16:03:02 EDT Re: I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14670591 cork1958 :

They are not making any investments here as they do in St Louis, Wisconsin etc. We are lagging at 3/256 with no upgrades in sight, yet they have given higher speeds to smaller markets.

They are NOT a big city player--LA is one of their few large city markets--and they dont seem to understand what to do with us. So sell us to Time Warner or Cox, please.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14670020 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 11:28:23 EDT I hope it's my city! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14669998 raIDERspeed : I hope it's where I live 80% of the county is comcast, the other 10% is chater they don't do shit over here we are last to get anything from them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14669998 Thu, 27 Oct 2005 11:24:17 EDT
