    Default Which internet would be better?

    I currently have my internet thru charter but the fastest upload that they offer is 5 upload. Or I can go with att and they offer 18 upload for the same price that I am paying for my internet thru charter. Att said that their internet would be fiber optics but I'm really not sure what that means? So what is the diff between cable internet and internet thru att or fiber optics? Which is better, fiber optics or charter?

    My main site is streamate so I want to make sure I am using the best internet.

    Definitely glad to hear that then cause charter has gotten to where it has been really undependable. I work another job besides camming and I cant tell u how many times my cable internet has went out and caused me to lose money or affected my commit percentage on the schedule to go way down. Luckily it has been down that much when I cam but I am currently trying to go full time with the camming and I would definitely cry if my internet went out during an exclusive with a good paying regular

    Default Re: Which internet would be better?

    I just called ATT again today to find out what my download speed just to be sure it would be ok cause my daughter was asking what the download speed would be cause she plays online games. I really didn't bother asking the other day when I called cause 18 upload is a lot faster than my current upload speed with charter. So I figured with that high of an upload that my download would be higher than charters too.

    So I called ATT back today to ask what the download speed would be before I switched my internet to ATT. The highest upload I can get with ATT in the area I live in is 18 but the download is only 12. My download speed that I have with charter now is 40?

    Here's my speeds that I have with my internet thru charter now: 4 upload & 40 download ( if I was to upgrade with charter the fastest upload I could get with them would be 5) but their service is really undependable lately. My internet was out for over 8 hours yesterday!!!!

    Here's the highest speeds that I can get with ATT in my area where I live: 18 upload but only 12 mbps download I don't understand why the download is so low tho? My question tho is, since ATT would be fiber optics, would the 12 download still be faster than my 40 download that I have with charter? Sorry I've been with charter internet for 16 years and Att u-verse is just now coming to my area where I live cause I am outside of city limits so I really don't understand the differences in the two cable services.

    a 12 download thats reliable on fiber vs an unstable 40 on cable would be better IMHO, especially because the price is better and well, its FIBER OPTICS! Fiber is the new way to go, and if its only online gaming and camming and not doing a ton of downloading of huge files and stuff then I would say go for it. If it were me I would take it for sure, I WISH I could get fiber where I live. And because they are just coming into your area I'm sure as time goes on those speeds will increase as they get more fiber lines and customers up and running for sure. It'll expand.
