hey guys, I haven't been around here for a while, thought i have been visiting jersey since end of December.

so yea, like i was saying, is bhn in the tampabay/st Petersburg area, will ever upper their speeds again? 15 down and 2 up, is quite not all that nowadays. i know bhn can do better with their setup today. i wish bhn was like cablevision/optimum online, their *hit is 30 down and 5 up.

any info on the "maybe" coming soon for faster speeds, would b appreciated.

I overheard a conversation that they may be waiting for Docsis 3.0 before going to the higher streams for the modems.

I also overheard that it may be sooner as they will no longer have to be broadcasting analog signals, which will free up a crap load of bandwith, thus allowing them to have more room for the higher speeds.

As with everything, it's being discussed, but it hasn't gone any further than that yet. Will keep my ears open. I need to go find my little lost puppy. Haven't seen him in months.

thanks for your reply, i am patient, and do understand, that certain things needs to get done, business and physical wise.

thought i still hope they do it soon. if they were to do it, only when analogs are over with, that's all the way threw Feb 09 =-(

is there any other packages they might offer with faster speeds, as a business solution? that i am able to use in my house? if so how and price. zip code in my area is 33709...

thanks again dude/guys =-)

and happy v day!!

I don't know about your area, but in my area, you can get a higher speed. It's 10meg down. If I remember correctly, its 712k up, For $54.95!

I'm sure they have the same price, or close to that price there.

Wow, 712K up. Let me hold on to my hat.

actually in my area I run 15 down and 2 up...

I went to the site, and well the business packages are crappy. and slower than for what i pay for...thanks for the info btw

i heard an increase was being discussed but no definitive timetable for implementation!

As mentioned previously in another thread. BHN is working on the implantation and getting ready for docsis3.0. They have already been freeing up the bandwidth to give them up to 4 channels to be used for upstream data (currently in most nodes its maxed at two) This will greatly increase their speed ability and everyone will see a nice free speed increase. And some new packages for a higher fee. In orlando the max for residential is 10/1 which is what I have.

I wish we had 1 meg up! shesh...

Are they still going to require their digital phone service for the highest-tier Internet? (That's the lamest thing ever.) I have 10/1 and would gladly pay for their 15/X... but they don't let me.

@Khandurian: Is BHN seriously talking about turning off analog? Won't they have to hand out a crapload of STBs? (Not that I would complain, bring the HD!)
