Charter is committed to deploying faster and better broadband across our 41-state footprint which includes preserving an open internet. We don’t slow down, block, or discriminate against lawful content. We also don’t impose data caps or engage in usage-based billing, meaning our customers can engage with the content they want, as much as they want.

Charter believes in delivering a superior experience to our broadband customers which is why we support an open internet. With the removal of the utility-style Title II framework, nothing is changing about our online practices because maintaining an open internet is critical to enabling our customers to engage with the content they want, when they want, and as much as they want. Simply put, we put our customers’ experience first.

“Delivering a superior broadband experience for our customers is central to Charter’s mission. We don’t slow down, block, or discriminate against lawful content. Charter appreciates the leadership demonstrated by the Members of Congress who voted against reinstating the overly-broad Title II regulatory framework that would treat the Internet like a government controlled utility, restrict innovation and deter broadband deployment to less populated communities.

During this important debate on the future of internet regulations, Charter has been consistent and clear: we support a vibrant and open internet that enables our customers to access the lawful content of their choice when and where they want it. We commend the FCC Chairman and Commissioners for their action today that re-establishes the light touch regulatory framework that had been in place for decades when the Internet took root and grew into an important tool for daily life and a major engine of economic growth.

In comments filed today, Charter reiterates our longstanding commitment to a vibrant and open internet. We support the FCC returning internet access to the light-touch regulatory framework in place for more than two decades that kept up with the speed of innovation.  Title II, written for the monopoly phone service in the 1930’s, is simply not designed to foster 21st century broadband innovation and deployment.  Charter stands ready to work with the FCC and Congress on a bipartisan basis to preserve an open internet and spur broadband deployment for more Americans for decades to come.

There is a robust debate happening across the country on the future of internet regulation – and today, a “Day of Action,” will spur further discussion about the future of America’s open internet policy. Charter supports an open internet. Delivering a superior broadband experience to our customers is our core business objective, and that is not possible without an open internet.

“Charter has long practiced the principles of an open internet as part of our commitment to provide a superior broadband experience to our customers that also includes the fastest base speeds in the industry without data caps, usage-based billing, modem fees or early termination fees.

At Charter, delivering superior service and products to our customers at a better value is the very foundation upon which our commitment to an open internet is built. Charter offers a broadband service to our customers that responds to their needs and desires. We’re proud to provide our broadband customers with an industry-leading base broadband speed of 60 Mbps across our footprint, and a minimum speed of 100 Mbps in a growing number of markets.

“Charter’s support for an open internet is an integral part of our commitment to deliver a superior broadband experience to our customers. That will never change. FCC Chairman Pai today signaled a welcome and necessary step toward returning to the regulatory framework embraced by Democratic and Republican FCC’s for the past two decades. This framework allowed and will continue to allow the open internet to flourish, yet will also spur investment in and the deployment of the next generation of broadband.”

Since 2014, Charter has invested over $16 billion in broadband infrastructure and we are committed to further expanding the reach of our high-speed broadband network. We appreciate the Commission’s efforts to provide a regulatory environment that will spur future infrastructure investment and look forward to working with the FCC to deliver high-speed broadband to more Americans.

“Charter has had a longstanding commitment to an open internet, which is why we don’t block, throttle or interfere with the lawful activities of our customers. We don’t impose data or usage caps, engage in usage-based billing or charge modem or early termination fees because we want our customers to use and value our broadband service by accessing the content of their choice.

THE NATION’S NETWORK neutrality drama isn’t over: the FCC’s landmark rules are in court again—after courts threw out two previous FCC net neutrality orders. But there is a little-known front in the fight that has long been central to advancing network neutrality: the commitments that broadband companies make when they merger.
