they were likely working on new fiber optic recievers at the Node optical transmission rack that the nodes are connected to for new node additions. |
|
| So what does that mean? |

The CSR likely has no idea what your local headend tech is ever doing. |
|
| So what your saying is that what the CSR said about the Fiber maintenance lastnight was incorrect? |

+1.
Just about every peice of equipment in a headend these days is connected with some sort of fiber, even if it doesn't go out to the cable plant directly. New node additions/upgrades are just one of many reasons to run fiber in a headend. "Working new fibers" could be for just about anything. |

Not necessarily incorrect but just maybe not for the reason you think. |

Fort Worth, TX | glad they bothered to tell me about the upgrade NOT!!
having to to constantly power off/on my 2.o modem |
|
| That has nothing to do with DOCSIS 3.0. A 2.0 modem will work just fine on DOCSIS 3.0 so if you are having internet issues you might wanna get in touch with the Charter direct forum and let them take a look at things for you. |

I just chat with charter and you have to call to upgrade |
|
| reply to ntorres6
It looks like the speeds were upgraded yesterday. Here are the Key Changes:
• Internet Lite is increasing from 1 M/128 kbps to 3M/384kbps
• Internet Express is increasing from 12M/1M to 15M/3M
• Internet Plus is increasing from 18M/2M to 30M/4M
• Internet Ultra60 is renamed to Internet Ultra100 and is increasing from 60M/5M to 100M/5M
Charter Max will no longer be available to new customers. Existing Max customers will still be able to keep their service. However, Max customers can also move to a different level of Internet service. |
