Ditto here - I just have one more of their accounts to migrate away from. I used to recommend DSL Extreme (AT&T Discount reseller) as an Internet provider to friends who only surf the web and check email. 6MBs was perfect for them until AT&T basically stopped selling the reduced Internet speeds and forced everyone to upgrade to full price.

The offer we received then and now is still the same advertised rate of $90/mo for 1,000mbs, although they do the occasional "gift card" incentive every now and then. Additional discounts if you "bundle" or have their cell service. Keep in mind that if you don't opt for the 1,000mbs speed then there are data caps, while the full speed is unlimited data.

Charter just "raised" us to 200mbs but my speed has dropped to 23 to 46mbs range in checking this week to see...(wireless test...need to physically hook up to really test). I would switch to ATT fiber but Charter is half the price so it's hard to justify the switch for me currently.

Don't waste your time. I spent a year with them because charter wasn't offering what they are now. And they kept jacking the price up 10 bucks every few months until I was paying almost 80 a month for 100mbps. I switched back to charter and am paying 40 bucks a month for better speeds(200mbps). And At&t refused to budge on 80 a month. HA.
