How Charter Communications Uses Its Capital Expenditures

Charter Communications (CHTR) has been consistently investing in capital expenditures (or capex) to improve its network. Charter Communications restarted all-digital projects in the remaining Bright House and Time Warner Cable markets that are not yet all-digital, as well as the deployment of 1 Gbps speeds via DOCSIS 3.1 technology across its footprint. In the first quarter, Charter spent $2.2 billion on capital expenditures compared to $1.6 billion on capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2017.
