Will BHN match Fios speeds

[oberon]

With verizon rasing the bar in tampa. Will Brighthouse match the same speeds?

[korsjs]

they will try with the download. they don't even come close with the upload currently.

We actually have the 15 Mbps/2 Mbps dl/ul package. No where near the price fios is charging.

They definitely have a better price package. I feel that in time, (most likely when fios has wired everywhere with their cable, that will probably be the time BHN will become competitive.

Did that say that, unless there is competition, BHN will sc*** us? BTW in Brevard, there is no competition.

The yhave plans "close" and at better prices.. and at upload they can raise as well.. With the new split node setups they have double the upstream of before. They can even split it one more time if they need to, but implanting a new Node+1 system would cut down modems per node and also increase the upstream power..

So yes they can compete if they choose to. and trust me they want let someone run in their backyard without a leash....

what is brighthouse's comparable package to verizon's 20 down and 5 up package? without discount, i think verizon charges 50 dollars. their lowest speed package is now 10 down and 2 up and costs either 35 or 40. can't remember which one.

i had brighthouse last month and was paying 40 dollars for the 5 down and .5 up.

right now its 15/2 and I am not sure on the price, but lets just say I am sure its higher than verizon

[iceturkee]

i know as of today, their premium has dropped in price to 54.95......or ten dollars more than the standard road runner. still cheaper than dsl from bellsouth, ooops at&t!

Is BHN still tying their higher speeds to bundles of services?

I have the 10/1 Mb plan (tied to digital cable), and would gladly upgrade to a 15 Mb plan, but it is tied to having BHN phone services.

I realize I'm not a marketing/management person, but it seems silly when a customer wants to give you more money monthly for a service, and you say "No, you have to order this other unrelated service too."


Anyway, FiOS will keep BHN honest, but Verizon has to prove that they are as reliable as BHN in addition to just outperforming them on Mb or Mb/$.

what do you mean by reliable? i have had both and have had more reliability problems with brighthouse.

they only time i have been down with verizon interenet is when a fiber line was cut.
