Time Warner Cable has announced a new Internet download speed for the Charlotte area that is twice as fast as Fibrant.

A Time Warner spokesman told the Post the company’s higher speeds are not in response to Fibrant, the city of Salisbury’s new fiber optic utility.

The city officially launched Fibrant on Monday.

Time Warner’s new speeds were available starting Tuesday.

The cable giant’s new download speed can reach 50 megabits per second, twice as fast as Fibrant’s 25 Mbps.

However Time Warner’s fastest upload speed — 5 Mbps — is still slower than Fibrant’s best upload speed of 25 Mbps and standard upload speed of 15 Mbps.

Time Warner is more expensive.
