Thinking about switching to Charter

I agree that 50 down is well more than most people could even conceive of utilizing, but one would need a damn sight more than three down to stream hd Netflix or play PS3 online. If you're playing PS3 online with 3 down, I feel bad for the poor schmuck getting all the lag on the other end of the line.

Higher speed=bigger pie. If you are running more devices over a network, then you are going to need a higher speed/more bandwidth to handle everything. If you are running your whole house basically over wifi, 3mbps would cause a total system shut down at my house so I need a higher speed which gives me a bigger pie so I can accommodate everything. In Chattanooga 50mbps is basically the standard speed.

Chattanooga is more of an exception but I'm just fine with my 75/35 here

Why not when it is no additional cost? The bumped me from 30 to 50 last time I called them for no reason. I didnt even ask. I have every channel available and 50 meg internet for 100 bucks a month.

There is no way you have all of that for 100. Besides Charter only goes up to 30mbps.

I guess your not the expert you think. Been doing it for years. I've played guys on this MB online without a hiccup.

If you'd like, I can procure multiple people who put food on their table working with the exact subject we're on about and confirm that you're talking out of your ass.

Either you're lying or your broadband access is a whole lot better than you realize.

School networks are the jam.

And right now is about as loaded as the network gets during the week.

You drive them to Spartanburg if you like as well.

Honestly the best internet really is LTE. I pulled 50mpbs down the other night from my iPhone and average around 30 during peak times.

Speeds may be great but the cost for data cap isn't worth it as a main option. The biggest data usage I have is streaming Netflix, a few other shows or sports (I don't have cable) and occasional music. My data usage with Comcast is around 50GB average. I was blown away when I found out it was that much.

Yea my LTE is good but can't really tell difference when on my 3mbps wifi at home. I have unlimited data so I'm good.

Now you have unlimited data with LTE? Do you play golf with Elvis and have a pet 'squatch?

Yea I'm still grandfathered with AT&T. At 5GB they may throttle you but I used almost 10GB this past cycle & they didn't do a thing. This has nothing to do with my charter Internet.

If you are happy with 3Mbps, that's great. I can tell you from a technical standpoint in working with networks and computers everyday, that faster is better, period. Also, as far as your Netflix is concerned, they have a throttler installed on there end, that does a speedtest every time you try to watch a movie, and if that throttler determines you don't have the bandwidth for HD it takes it down to 480p. If you believe you are watching true HD movies on Netlix with a 3Mbps connection, then you are sorely mistaken. Continue on though.
