Charter Launches Fastest Residential Internet Service

St. Louis the First to Experience 60 Mbps Speed, 20 Mbps Coming Soon Nationwide
ST. LOUIS--(Business Wire)--
Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) today announced the launch of 60
Mbps Internet service, the fastest residential service available from any
multiple system cable and telecom provider. The initial deployment of Charter
High-Speed Internet Ultra60 is in the St. Louis metropolitan area, with
additional markets to follow. Nationwide, the Company will soon boost Charter
High- Speed Internet Max from 16 Mbps to 20 Mbps.

"Not only are we delivering the fastest speed today, but our infrastructure has
the capacity to support even higher speeds as demand and usage grow," said Ted
Schremp, Charter`s Chief Marketing Officer. "Charter`s ability to provide
increasingly greater bandwidth is critical to our customers` use and enjoyment
of the Internet and delivers greater value. It also highlights our growing
superiority over DSL service."

Charter High-Speed Internet Ultra60 not only enables a customer to download a 4
gigabyte movie approximately 40 times faster than with DSL, but also enables
users to multitask more effectively. Users can access multiple stream sources
simultaneously to download music, watch a movie trailer, catch up on e-mail or
surf the Internet on one screen. With 20 Mbps speed, a 2.5 minute movie trailer
downloads in just 4 seconds. It takes several minutes with dial-up and DSL.

"Speed and reliability are what consumers value most, and we offer the fastest
and most reliable1 speed," said Marwan Fawaz, Charter`s Chief Technology
Officer. "In addition to select Ultra60 deployments, we`re increasing our 16
Mbps service to 20 Mbps nationwide so our customers can take greater advantage
of rapidly growing interactive applications available on the Internet and to
help telecommuting workers become even more productive." The upgrade to 20 Mbps
will be automatic for Charter High-Speed Internet Max customers at no additional
cost.

As with all Charter high-speed services, Charter High-Speed Internet Ultra60 is
ultra safe with Charter Security Suite for PC protection, which has the fastest
response to new virus threats and best virus detection, at no additional cost.
Charter offers additional value-added enhancements including wireless home
networking.

Charter is using DOCSIS 3.0 technology for Charter High-Speed Internet Ultra60
launches, which also serves as the foundation to offer even faster connections
in the future.
