May 6, 2008

Charter Communications, the third largest publicly traded broadband communications company in the U.S., has announced its launch of a new high-speed Internet service capable of download speeds as fast as 16 Mbps in most of its service areas in Wisconsin. The new service, called Charter High-Speed Internet Max, will allow Charter customers to download a song in 2 ½ seconds, or download as many as 24 photographs in eight seconds.

Charter is offering the same high speeds for Charter Business, the company’s Internet service exclusive to business customers.

High-Speed Internet Offered on Premium Tier of Service

According to a company press release, Charter’s High-Speed Internet Max is available to its Wisconsin customers on a premium tier of service. The cable operator also offers Charter High-Speed Internet with download speeds up to 5 Mbps, and Charter High-Speed Plus which features speeds as fast as 10 Mbps.

Charter Investing in Enhanced Services

Over the past year, Charter has invested more than $1 billion in capital to enhance its broadband offerings across the U.S. Says Ted Schremp, Charter’s senior vice president of product management and strategy, “Speed and the reliability of that speed are top priorities of Internet users and for the second time, an independent research firm, comScore, Inc., ranked Charter’s high-speed Internet speeds fastest and most reliable in the communities we serve.

Bundling Charter Services Offers Greater Value to Customers

According to Schremp, Charter’s Wisconsin customers can take advantage of lower prices when they choose to bundle the company’s video and telephone services.
