| Charter slower than DSL I love the way in the DSL vs. Cable debate one cable advantage is usually speed.
In my area of Charter Country, Charter Pipeline is 1.5/128 for $59.95 ($49.95 bundled) and BellSouth DSL is 1.5/256 for $49.95 (44.95 bundled).
That is a tough decision. Especially when I already have Dish Network.

| Re: Charter slower than DSL Ugh Charter doesn't get the idea that 2 weeks to get service to your house to replace a zapped modem is "slow". What they "do" seem to understand is that if a customer threatens to cut off service, they will magically find someone to service your computer in 1 hour. | |

| Re: Ok, so who is Atlantic Broadband? Interesting. I think what a lot of people don't realize is that when these system sales take place it is often to holdings companies, and the actual migration/transitions can take months if not years to complete. That said, I doubt any major changes will be coming in these markets in the near future. I may be wrong, but I've seen one or two of these transactions before. | |

| I agree i did a search also found nothing. I'm one of the guys that got sold. Miami Beach. As was said it will be quite awhile till a change is seen. I'm more worried about the interactive digital t.v. part than the broadband. Here in Fla it's a nice package that works well. Also my gold broadband was costing $25.

| Rob -- The way I understand it is that Atlantic Broadband is actually a holding company / subsidiary of......COMCAST! That's right. Being a little inside the loop in PA, it looks like the move for AB and Comcast is to buy the Altoona/Johnstown Systems and then perhaps take care of Adelphia in this area so most of PA would be......COMCAST. Solid info for the subsidiary thing being Comcast, pure speculation on the Adelphia thought. | |

| Re: Ok, so who is Atlantic Broadband? The comment that Atlantic Broadband is part of or a subsidiary of Comcast is absolutely false. Atlantic Broadband is headed by two long time cable executives who were employed by Continental Cablevision, which was acquired by USWEST (MediaOne), which was aquired by AT&T Broadband, which was acquired by Comcast. These executives have not been involved with this series of companies for years. The major funding for Atlantic Broadband comes from a Boston based venture capital firm called ABRY Partners. There is no connection to Comcast whatsoever. Could Atlantic Broadband be sold to Comcast in the future? Sure, so could anything... | |

| Sad Its sad when your entry level package is SLOWER than Qwest DSL and more expensive than Qwest DSL.
Shame on you Charter. at least this gives these people in these areas some hope of getting decent service at a fair price.

| Moving to SBC? Rumor has it that SBC will be INCREASING their speeds (upstream and downstream) and coming out with new pricing plans. I am giving this serious consideration again since Charter's contract with Earthlink ran out, which means no more Earthlink dial-up and newsgroup access.
Charter, please increase your speeds or lower your prices before you lose another customer to DSL | |

| This is not the last sell off There have been many bets placed in the industry to see who will get the most of Charter..
Cox and Comcast both are drooling at the thought of buying out Charter.
It is just a matter of time to decide who get's what.
Ever wonder why so many of the Charter Execs, VP's and Directors have flown to Cox and Comcast.
I think the story of Charter will be done w/in 5 years.
Charter is like a injured animal getting picked apart by the hyenna's. They can smell the death in the air. The scent of blood is pungent.
Night is coming and the moon is arising. Come morning, we shall see which Hyenna has the larger belly.
The enemy is at the gates, waiting for darkness.

| Re: hmm, wierd... probably because we are winners of the been there done that got the t-shirt club. here charter is 59.95 for 1.5, you are required to rent their modem (9.95 a month), you are required to subscribe to basic cable (14.95 whether you want it or not) and pay a 3.50 franchise fee to the city. Moral of the story, $88.35 plus tax for the same product bell south sells for 49.95. | |
