Charter's 16Mbps/2Mbps tier has arrived in central Nebraska, portions of Missouri, and in Madison, Wisconsin. User discussing in our Charter forum (http://www.corpsman.com/forum/r19735294-16MB-2-MB-WHERE-IS-IT~start=280#end) indicates customers are paying drastically different prices depending on the competitiveness of their market; from $55 (non-promotional, no less) to $80. Others say they're being offered 10Mbps for $35 for twelve months if they threaten to cancel. This local Madison, Wisconsin report (http://www.madison.com/tct/business/stories/276832) says the 16Mbps tier is being offered there for $69.99 bundled, $79.99 standalone. The paper breaks down local competition, including TDS Telecom, who we've reported (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/91213) offers $55 6Mbps WiMAX in the region:TDS Telecom this year began offering WiMax fixed wireless Internet to parts of the Madison area at speeds up to 6 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream for $55 per month. AT&T offers DSL Internet service in four speeds, ranging from 768 Kbps/384 Kbps for $14.99 per month to 6 Mbps/768 Kbps for $34.99 per month. Bundling of services typically results in discounts.
About 1,000 downtown households in multiple-unit dwellings such as apartment and condominium buildings are able to get Internet service at speeds up to 50 Mpbs downstream and 5 Mbps upstream for $79.99 per month. ResTech Services, 120 W. Gorham St., provides the service wirelessly to the buildings and it's then distributed to dwellings within the buildings via ethernet lines.
Meanwhile, Charter's auction for "a lifetime" of broadband service (see previous report (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/92625)) has reached $30,000 with five days left. As mentioned previously, the contest's fine print states that if the company is sold after three years, Charter owes the winning bidder nothing.
