Cable modems can connect to the Internet and download information much faster than a dial-up modem. For example, it will take a cable-modem user milliseconds to connect to the Internet, while it will take a dial-up modem user about a minute. Charter offers different Internet speed packages based on our customers’ needs — up to 10Meg — while a dial-up modem will only download information at 53kbps — or less. This means that cable modem users can download, surf, and shop over 180 times faster with Charter High Speed Internet Max 16Meg than a person using a 56kbps dial-up modem.
