Charter High Speed Internet Service and Features

Benefits of Charter Internet

Charter high speed Internet runs more than 100 times faster than any given dial-up connection.  With a downstream speed of 3 Mbps and an upstream speed of 256 Kbps, Charter Internet runs smoothly so you can spend more time surfing the Internet and less time waiting for pages to load and files to download. 

The other way you will save a lot of time using Charter Internet is because it is an “always on” connection.  This means that there is no need to wait for your computer to dial into the Internet - if you’re computer is on, so is your Internet connection, and all you have to do is open up your browser.  And because your Internet connection does not run through your phone line, there is no need to worry about getting kicked offline or tying up the phone line when you are using the Internet.
