Charter Starts All-Digital Shift In SoCal

Charter Communications has kicked off its all-digital shift in Southern California, teeing up an upgrade that will clear the way for a total of 200 HD channels, faster broadband speeds, and a video on demand library stocked with about 10,000 “options.”

Charter said it will begin the process in the market in late March, and wrap it up in early September. Communities targeted in this round up upgrades includes Monterey Park, West Covina, Azusa, Norwalk, Pasadena, Cerritos, Ventura, Malibu, Whittier, Riverside, Victorville, Hesperia, Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Atascadero, Paso Robles, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo, Turlock, Escalon, Gilroy, Watsonville, California City and Porterville. Once the upgrade is complete, Charter will double residential Internet speeds (downstream) from 30 Mbps to 60 Mbps at no additional cost.
