Nos7667 Posted August 21, 2005 CID Share Posted August 21, 2005 Nice speeds! Charter is pretty good. How much do you pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructable Posted August 21, 2005 CID Share Posted August 21, 2005 Too much. $71/mo total. Basic cable, leasing modem. That's nice of Charter to upgrade, but until they drop the damn price a bit, that' really sucks...that's like what, $29 or $30 more than you used to pay?? how much was it before the upgrade?

terry Posted August 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 It's really only $10 more a month, but I left a promotion to get it (had one month left of the $29.95/mo promo). $39.99 - 3/256, $49.99 - 5/512, $5/mo modem lease, ~$15 for Basic cable Really not an issue right now, I have waited to get cable for too long and it just recently made its way out here.

terry Posted September 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 19, 2005 If they told you your area is oversubscribed, that is a pretty straight forward answer. Hope you enjoy SBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is what I get on your validation. "Sorry, your search: "WYLAP26IO" returned zero results" It is better if you do not change the scores.

cable_guy Posted September 29, 2006 CID Share Posted September 29, 2006 Magic and Terry, do you guys think you could send me some cablenut, and tcp optimizer settings that you use for that package... i am on the same package and here are my speeds.... :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 4381 Kbps about 4.38 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB) Download Speed is:: 535 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 496 Kbps about 0.5 Mbps (tested with 1013 kB) Upload Speed is:: 61 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/09/28 - 11:49pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-MWVPZUI80 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-QPBJ9V5Y7 User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; FDM) [!] i have been getting the full upload, but my download never goes over 4500-4600 i think part of the problem is that it's like 100-150 miles to the nearest network backbone for my area, do you think that could be affecting me?
