High Split in St. Louis

Saw over on dslreports that high split is coming to St Louis this year and should be rolled out by eoy 2024. Someone confirmed getting a notice in Florissant of work being done along those lines. Anyone else around the metro get a notice about network upgrade work being done?

I'm a tech in the st peters area. This is true, and some parts of Florissant has already gotten it. We are actually hoping for all of STL Area to be done with high split by EOY this year. Every while, they ask for volunteers (technicians) to work on this project. The project is volunteered because it takes us out of production. Ehich production ratings are what gives us our raises and such. So sometimes these deployments are a few weeks long per deployment. So thay is a few weeks with out production. So some techs dont want to help with these projects. I think sometime soon, we are sending techs out to get pictures of the nodes and amps in the st peters area to get started out in this area.

Spectrum vs AT&T Internet

Spectrum just jumped my bill 33% saying that I was on a promotion that expired, even though I’ve been on the same plan for 8 years and was unaware of any promotion. It’s now $100/month for 500mb internet service. AT&T is offering this same speed at $65/month. Is there any reason not to switch? I know they’re both garbage companies, but does anyone have any reasons I shouldn’t just bounce between them?

Most helpful response

T&T Fiber > Spectrum > AT&T Internet

Regular price for Spectrum internet is $80/month for their minimum speed 300 Mb/s. You will not benefit from paying $20 extra for 500 Mb/s.

P.S. Spectrum hides its regular rates from you until after you sign up for service to make it hard to know what you'll really be paying once the promotion expires, but once you receive your first bill, both your promotional and nonpromotional rates should be pretty clearly displayed on every bill to avoid surprises when the promotional period expires. I suspect people who get surprised by the nonpromotional rate just don't ever look at their bills. Is my guess true for you?
