Charter launches cheaper internet plans to boost broadband customer retention

The move comes at a time when people are dumping cable TV bundles provided by the likes of Charter for streaming services, while wireless majors including AT&T and Verizon are attracting broadband customers. Charter, which has benefited from a push into less tapped rural areas, will from Tuesday offer the Spectrum One plan with internet speeds of 500 megabytes per second for $30/month when bundled with two mobile lines or cable TV. The company also offered an increase in internet speed at no additional cost for customers using two of its existing broadband plans.
