Where's that? I have an old $15 plan for 3 mbit grandfathered in but I would like a little more speed. The only plan they are offering to me is $49 for 12 months which then goes up 70.
In Los Angeles. Oddly enough, I went to see if I could find that plan again and it's nowhere to be found. The cheapest it's showing for me is a $50 a month plan for 100 Mb/s speeds.

Lync is now Skype for Business... I mean in the splash and window title because the executable is still "lync.exe".
Ah, Skype for Business. Which can't actually call other Skype accounts, and requires a desktop executable if you want clients to be able to call you. Meaning it is neither "Skype" nor is it useful "for business".
Very useful for organizations replacing phone workflows, not useful for replacing conferencing and chat workflows.

TWC most certainly did not take over Charter. The other way around, which is also why the legacy Spectrum brand continued on. Disclaimer: Former employee of Bright House/Charter.
The same with AOL with everyone thinking the same thing. Sorry but charter is toast, it will be either a brand name and see me infrastructure, but entirely controlled by twc.

Incorrect. TWC is no more. Everything is Spectrum now, which has been Charter's retarded brand for quite some time, and will remain so.

The branding might be different but at the helm is what was twc. Charter spectrum or whatever they call it this week is not in control. This is a reverse merger, twc owned charter. New name, same company.

Zulip has a matrix bridge ( https://zulip.com/integrations/doc/matrix ) Also, Zulip is full open source, not open core (meant as a response to rst's comment, not the parent...). Mattermost is open core.
The matrix bridge is _quite_ limited
I didn't know Spectrum until today. It looks similar to Gitter. As I understand it, it means we now have at least three “slack-like”, well-backed, open-source, community-centered chats: - Gitter, now owned by GitLab; - Spectrum, now owned by GitHub; - Mattermost, independent, but fully integrated within GitLab. That's great to have credible alternatives to the proprietary behemots that are Slack, Discord and others,…
They need to develop a standard protocol, like with IRC

Works for: Slack, Zulip, Mattermost, IRC, Telegram, Gitter, Rocketchat, XMPP, Steam, Twitch, Riot, and some others.
Some of the nifty things it supports (to various degrees): - rethreading of Slack messages between instances. (future) interop with Mattermost possible. - edits and deletions going through most platforms. - relaying of "user is typing" messages on Slack. (future) interop with Mattermost possible. - (future) hack to relay emoji reactions via editting a "prosthetic attachment" in Slack. - sync'ing channel topics. - (future) still not generalized, but on a local branch, I've been using an option to set a channel with a language, and have all incoming messages translate via Google Translate.
This last feature I'm pretty excited about. The goal is to allow anyone who finds themselves interested in #un-projet (that's french) to simply create #un-projet-en, and have everything auto-translated to Ye Olde English. If people in #un-projet don't understand your english replies to their french nonsense (ha!), they can create #un-projet-fr and have all your english belligerence translated into their One True Glorious Language.
As stated, this allows bridging between many different services. It's config is via toml file, and not a UI, but I am excited to later build that out. I'm particularly excited to explore how public chat gateways could be offered as a community service, kinda like TravisCI.
Like imagine if someone could send you a link, as a member of a Slack or Mattermost team, and logging in would allow you to join a giant multi-team/multi-platform gateway that others were already using. I feel that this could help un-silo us until we all figure out the one true protocol ;)

That's the next thing on my list to setup. I want to get a synapse server up with FB Messenger/Hangouts/IRC/Discord and Slack bridges to bring all my messaging back under a gateway I control (even if I have no control over the actual chat services) and a unified accessible history.
I'd like to read about how that goes! This is exactly what I want as well. I hear synapse requires a good amount of resources
It's pretty great. (Not just for mattermost, but most major chat plaforms)

For Slack to do this would be lowering the drawbridge across their moat. I don’t see it happening.
they even removed their irc support. i lost any interest i had left in slack at that point
