| [Upgrades] I Have 10Mb in Lawrenceville, GA right now working!
I just called TS to see why my 5Mb had not kicked in and the tech said "Oh, We also have 10MB in your area, would you care to have it?". Well after my wife finally woke me up off the kitchen floor I screamed yes. 5 minutes away to do some modem programming/reset and I was soon downloading of Apple Trailers at 1.2MB/s. (Yes, Megabytes BABY!) It was a bit jumpier than my 3Mb connection but who cares. It was jumping from 1.2MB/s to 500Mb/s but overall I downloaded about 50 MBs in under 2 minutes. I will do more tests tonight and report back. Come top think about it I did not even ask the price. HEHE
I feel like I am going to cry. I am so happy. HAHAHAHA
Cheers, John. |

OK, I did a little testing from sites that can feed the 10/1 connection.
I downloaded a 187.1MB file in 166 seconds. This worked out to be 1.13MB/s.
I did an upload at 125Kb/s average.
Cheers, John. |

Kirkland, WA | well considering people in AL and GA and a few other places have it I would say that charter is serious aobut rolling this out ot everyone. Just a shame they charge a arm and a leg and a first child for it. The 5mb is arm and leg alone. |

Lawrenceville, GA | I agree. They should at least match Comcast's price for 6Mb. |

Further confirmation. I just called (yes at 11:00 p.m.) and upgraded from 5MB to 10MB. Would have been nice if they sent an e-mail about the availability of 10MB. Nonetheless I made the plunge and was able to have them match my one year price for the 5MB at 39.99. |

They upgraded me on Thursday out here in Smyrna. Seems to be working good so far.
Last Result:
Download Speed: 9464 kbps (1183 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 921 kbps (115.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
I'm really enjoying the improvement in my RDC and VPN connections. |

Mableton, GA | Smyrna has it!! I don't know if I should go for it. I have service drop out from time to time.
How much more do you have to pay? I am on a 12-month plan paying 19.99 for 3mb. I wonder how much I would pay for 10mb package |

When you upgrade are you locking into a one year contract? or are you still month to month?
They sent me an email offer to upgrade from the 3mb to 5mb plan for 49.99 a month for 12 months. Right now I'm on a month to month basis.
If it's a contract no thanks. |

The quote is ridiculous – does anyone else recognize this? This person is happy to be downloading at 1.2 Mbps when paying for a 10 Mpbs connection?!? When Verizon delivers 15 Mbps you get 15 Mbps. When Dalton Utilities in Georgia delivers 5 Mbps over a FTTP network you get 5 Mbps. I also live in Lawrenceville, GA and have recently been offered a 5 Mbps service. Sounds great right? BUT I previously had a 3.2 Mbps service from Charter and never once was able to ‘speed test’ above 1.5 Mbps. If they can give me a 5 Mbps service why can’t they just give me the 3.2 Mbps I am currently paying for and we can call it even. At 1.5 Mbps I can’t work from home and have to fight the traffic in Atlanta – with 3 or 5 Mbps I could actually work from home. However, Charter would have to deliver and they have not delivered anything to me yet but a bid, steaming, pile of disappointment. |

Megabits per second and MegaBytes per second are different things. He is getting 10 Megabits, and around 1.2 MegaBYTES. |
