Frisco, TX 29 recommendations banditws6 Premium Member Are you serious? They would actually downgrade me from 200/20 to 100/5 and make me pay more money? You can't be serious, can you? We just got Maxx here last year and I suffered through years of promotionless high pricing and poor value from TWC for it. Charter can get F'ed.



AT&T is rolling out Gigapower in my neighborhood and I swore I would never switch to those clowns, but if Charter pulls this crap, I'm going over to the Death Star.

Holly Springs, NC 15 recommendations TelecomRFPro Member A Step In The Wrong Direction! The thing that surprised me most about this is that they may migrate/downgrade already established Maxx markets to a top speed 100Mbps for 100 dollars! What!!!! Rutledge is an A__hole. This merger sucks, bring back TWC!

All the TW IT talent that telecommutes, are about gone. Its meat in the seat in the office or your out of there.

This is not a company looking to push the cutting edge and advance.

Moscow, ID 10 recommendations karlmarx Member Translation from marketing speak Since Altice has purchased us, we have realized we are not raping the customers enough. That is going to change. We are now offering lower speeds + higher prices + worse support, just because 'we can'. Guess what sheeple, there's a new sheriff in town, and he's going to make you pay and pay, and then pay some more. Expect a plethora of new hidden fees, lower caps, longer install times, and overall a far worse experience. Workers can expect to be laid off and outsourced to india, because we can pay them $12.00 a day instead of $12.00 an hour. That means more profit for us, less satisfaction for you. Welcome to monopoly.

I chose not to pay Charter for faster speeds I don't need, now instead of them getting a reasonable amount of money from me they get NONE at all.



How's that working out for you Tom Rutledge, I am not the only one that told you to

take your one tier/price fits all and stick it where the sun don't shine. At least TWC offered value oriented tiers for customers that didn't need a lot of speed and have budgets to keep. Now you get expensive 60/4 service or you don't get service from Charter at all.I chose not to pay Charter for faster speeds I don't need, now instead of them getting a reasonable amount of money from me they get NONE at all.How's that working out for you Tom Rutledge, I am not the only one that told you totake your one tier/price fits all and stick it where the sun don't shine.

We were thinking about possibly staying with Charter, but with Google Fiber trenching just down the street in my neighborhood, Charter will be losing us as a customer when Google Fiber is available.

Cleveland, OH 6 recommendations trparky Premium Member Really all I want is... To be honest, I don't give a crap about download speeds in excess of 100 Mbps. 50 Mbps is more than enough for me.



What I want is more upload! 5 Mbps is not nearly enough!



Now if they provided more upload with their 50 Mbps plan it would be a whole lot better.

Charter

host image So whats gonna happen to the low income tier? I don;t need super high speed just a internet connection at a reasonable price. Charter doesn't have a low tier that F***** UP. they only gonna have 60mbps for 60$ and 100mbps for 100$, they should just sell people a 1$ per mbps package those A**hole.

And here I was excited seeing a TWC Contractor working on some new fiber runs towards my neck of the woods.

Guess it's a good thing I didn't get and itchy trigger find an buy a MAXX ready modem. Guess my SB6141 will work for the foreseeable future.

Escondido, CA 5 recommendations SDHank8 Premium Member San Diego Parts of San Diego did get MAXX speeds and the Time Warner website is officially showing them as available for purchase. I'll be very, very disappointed if/when my 200/20 drops to 100/5. No, actually I'll be really pissed off. But since that's still better than than the only alternative currently available - AT&T - I suppose I'll just have to live with it. Ugh. Fargin bastages!

I pay total $46.88 for 100/10 a month, a jump to $100+fees a month is a no go for me and 60 Mbps plan is overpriced and will barely handle a 100% streaming home..

»What happens when you have multi Gigabit ISP competition? markets with TWC. In KC, TWC is 50/5/$30, 100/10/$40, 200/20/$50, 300/30/$60 and they are managing pretty well considering there are now 5 Gigabit players in KC market. The $30 50/5 is a pretty good deal for those looking to save. Will Charter budge?

Connecticut 4 recommendations Chuck_IV Member The sad part about all this is... that TWC has tech that blows the doors off what Charter offers, yet Charter is more than happy to sweep it under the rug.



If Charter was actually smart, they would be focusing on rolling out what TWC already has, to all Charter subs. This would be a HUGE upgrade for all Charter subs and probably save Charter some money in the long run as they could drop their vaporware "World Box" development. But the morons that be over at Charter(I'm speaking directly at you Rutledge) are clueless.
