Charter Communications is a U.S. broadband connectivity company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Stamford. Through the Spectrum brand, it provides subscription Internet, WiFi, mobile, video and voice services to households, small businesses, larger businesses, government entities and carrier organizations.
Its core fixed network is a fiber-powered system: fiber carries traffic through much of the network, while coaxial cable commonly links local network nodes to homes. The company sells Internet service with speeds up to 1 Gbps across its footprint, plus managed in-home WiFi. Its Advanced WiFi service supplies routers, network controls, security features and device-management tools. Spectrum Mobile is sold to Spectrum Internet customers and combines customers’ home WiFi, the company’s out-of-home WiFi network and cellular coverage supplied through Verizon.
