Charter Cable Internet

Charter Cable Internet is probably the most common type of broadband internet access now available in the United States. If there is a cable provider who provides cable tv service in your neighborhood, then there’s a good chance you can get high speed internet access from your Charter cable provider.

Charter Cable Internet works over the same fiber optic cables that your cable provider uses to send television to your house. Because the required bandwidth for Cable TV is so large, your cable provider already has the available infrastructure to send your large amounts of data.

Internet Speeds on a Charter cable internet connection can be anywhere from 4 - 8 MBP/s, and unlike a dsl internet connection, the upload and download speed of a cable connection are typically synchronous, meaning that you can download and upload files to the internet at the same speeds.

Probably the biggest downside to getting your high speed internet provided by Charter Cable company is that there is very little to no choice of who carries your upstream. In other words, you’re pretty much stuck with whoever your current cable company is. Generally speaking,  the quality and reliability of high speed internet via cable is pretty good, although it can sometimes change depending on the number of other cable users online and how good your providers internet connection is.

The great thing about getting your internet from your Charter cable company is the ability to bundle different services. Companies like Charter allow you to combine services like Charter Cable TV, Internet and Internet Phone together into one low monthly bill. A great Example of this is the Charter Bundle, which allows you to buy all three services for $99 per month.
