It hasn’t been long ago since Charter communications bagged a deal with Time Warner and Bright House Networks. The deal not only hiked its turnover but also added to its reputation in the market. After the deal was signed, Charter communications have been known to rank second in the list of the largest Internet Broadband providers in the USA.
What makes it so popular amongst its users and potential clients is the fact that it does not charge any sort of rental fee for its modems. Instead, if you wish to use WI-FI on their modem, they do charge a monthly fee.
To understand the deal in a more simplified manner, the company gives its customers a combo Modem along with a WiFi router box (you could also call it a Gateway Modem). To avail the services of an enabled WiFi-enabled, the company demands a “usage” fee.
To combat the situation, a lot of people buy cable modems from elsewhere to avoid paying the usage fee. Well, it must be noted that not all modems or routers are compatible with other cable services. There are very few modems that can work with cable services of different brands.
To help you find the best modem combos, we shall be listing the best modems that can function with the spectrum Internet service provided by Charter.
