Broadband From Charter Communications

Charter Communications offers high speed internet access to consumers across 29 states. Charter’s internet services are carried on the company’s cable lines, which run to residential units and businesses.

Charter’s internet connections require the consumer to purchase or lease a cable modem and to have cable connectivity. Because the internet is provided on the existing cable infrastructure, there is no other equipment needed for the installation.

As is true for most internet connections, Charter’s data transmission rates vary. Upstream or uploading speeds – from the internet to the user’s computer – are faster than the downstream or downloading speeds – from the user’s computer to the internet.

Charter currently offers four tiers of high speed internet service from which the consumer can choose. All of the tiers offer the Charter Security Suite, 10-email accounts, and 1 gigabyte (GB) of storage for each email account.
