I received an email saying they were increasing my internet speed. This seems very strange that they would do this as they basically have the Lake Charles internet market cornered. Anyone know of any major competition coming to the area or something. I am not complaining, it just seems weird to triple a customers internet speed for free.

They're supposed to be bringing 1 gigabit to LC. The 15 Mbps plan will be bumped to 300 Mbps

Best big company I've dealt with. Wish I could get them where I live now!

I mean damn I feel left out. Would probably go a little way to restoring their image.

One thing I learned many years ago. Nothing is free. You are going to pay extra somewhere soon.

I saw a commercial last week.
Here is an article about it from August.

Suddenlink Communications , the seventh-largest US cable operator, revealed plans late last week to upgrade nearly all its cable systems for 1Gbit/s service over the next three years. Speaking on the company's second-quarter earnings call Friday, Suddenlink executives said they will spend an extra $230 million in capital expenditures, starting with $35 million in the second half of this year, to boost the capabilities of their systems and clear more bandwidth.
Specifically, the "Operation GigaSpeed" initiative calls for Suddenlink to upgrade its cable modem termination systems (CMTSs), replace its DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems with 3.0 modems and higher, and reclaim more analog video bandwidth by converting the rest of its cable systems to all-digital video delivery. With these measures, MSO officials aim to offer top download speeds of 1 Gbit/s to nearly 90% of their broadband customers by 2017, and maximum speeds of 200 Mbit/s to another 8% of their subscribers.
Suddenlink chairman and CEO Jerry Kent said he expects nearly half of the planned 1Gbit/s launches to be completed by the end of next year. Most of the remainder are expected to be completed in 2016.

There is a commercial that says Suddenlink Lake Charles will have two internet packages of 1Gb and 300Mb? and 15Mb will be bumped to 300Mb?
Posted on 12/17/14 at 9:37 am to carwashguy
They're going to bump all of the different speed packages they have. The commercial just said that 1 gigabit was coming and the 15->300 was one example.

They're being proactive due to competition coming in as the area is growing. A tip of the hat to them. Many companies wait to take that step until they see the competition making serious inroads.

They tripled mine for free after they caught me illegally downloading
