Personally, I'll believe it when I see it if Spectrum doesn't put data caps in place. But, with the rollout of some of the national wireless providers doing 5G home internet, plus what Amazon will be doing PLUS smaller regional companies like Greenlight Networks and GoNetspeed coming online without data caps, there is competition out there.

Not to mention bigger overbuilds like AT&T, Verizon Fios, Google, Ting, etc. I just don't see it being worth the effort on Charter's part. It isn't going to protect their diminishing CATV service, but it would drive customers away that already have access to better alternatives but stick with Charter through inertia.

even with no data caps rectrum is still a ripoff/ $120.00 a month for gig service when you can get better service elsewhere cheaper.

ummm….for some maybe, here it is either Spectrum or Century Link with the magnificent speed of 3 down/1 up.

Since I live in a area where everyone has 2 acres, not worth it for anyone else to come into here and provide competition, not enough houses to make it profitable.

Also semi-rural here, so no options for 5G type service, too far from towers.

We only have Spectrum or Verizon 5G. No DSL either.
