    Verizon FIOS Update (Clearwater, FL):

    Just another reason to HATE Verizon. I get those on a weekly basis too.

    MRV cost $20.00 Is this true?

    MRV is a nice feature but not at $20.00 per month. Here is the link to the story: Bright House serves up multi-room DVR service in Fla.

    NFL Network?

    Any more news on the possible merge? Football season is almost over and it sucked to get stuck watching regular TV when I knew there was a game being shown on the NFL Network. Guess that is one victory for the wife!

    Verizon FIOS Update (Clearwater, FL):

    Any idea when Verizon will resume their roll-out of FIOS in the countryside area? We live in a subdivision behind Kohls and our only choices are Brighthouse and Knology. I know folks North of Tampa Rd and South of Enterprise have access to FIOS but someone we got skipped. thanks

    Phone & Internet service interruptions CountrySide area

    BHN finally completed the work on Tuesday. So far two solid day of uninterrupted internet and VOIP service. Also, for the first time in a very long time, there are no errors in the modem's error log. NICE!

    Phone & Internet service interruptions CountrySide area

    Anyone else experiencing service interruptions on their internet and phone service? This has been going for some time but since this past Thursday, the frequency of the service interruptions has been increasing. Whenever a T3 time-out occurs, we loose both services. Time ID Level...

    RR Lightning (40mbit / 4mbit) Coming to Central Florida this summer

    I downgraded to 20mbps turbo service and everything is back to normal again. I don't have to log into my router every time the power glitches to renew it's WAN IP address. If BHN ever corrects the problem, I may upgrade to the lightning service.

    RR Lightning (40mbit / 4mbit) Coming to Central Florida this summer

    New problem! Every time the SMC modem/router looses power or connection with the home office, it assigns a 192.168.100.2 to my router when it first comes back on. I ALWAYS have to connect to my router to release the wan ip address and renew it. Then everything is fine until the next power...

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    I did a hard reset on my DGL-4500, restored factory defaults, re-flashed the firmware v1.15, restored factory defaults and did not upload my old config backup file. VIOLA! My download and upload speeds are back to normal. 4.3Mbps up and 39.6Mbps down. jerry PS: if someone is using the...

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    I would have to agree with Longhorn about getting the DOCIS 3.0 router by SMC switched to bridge mode. For whatever reason, this router lacks some basic features like a list of all the clients on the LAN side and the ability to program your own DNS. Granted you could walk around and touch...

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    SMCD3GN is the DOCIS 3.0 modem BHN is deploying in my area. It's a modem/router. Here are some of the features" · Internet connection to cable modem service via an integrated cable modem port · Local network connection via 4 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, 300Mbps wireless · 802.11 b/g/n -...

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    I meant BHN when I said I hope they will update their router firmware. Right now the BHN modem/router is not able to display the IP addresses of all the clients connected to the LAN ports. Hopefully, a future firmware release will allow us to see that info. jerry

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    Update: My Dlink DGL-4500 was responsible for the slower speeds. Did several tests with only my pc connected to the dgl-4500 and the dgl-4500 connected to the modem while the modem was in bridge mode. Best download speeds was 31500 Kbps and upload was 3110 Kbps. When I connected the PC...

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    That's another reason why I'm downgrading the service. It seems there is no bang for the buck.

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    I may downgrade my service back to 20Mbps + Turbo. My speeds are in the low 30s and my upload speed is only around 3.8. Not getting the full bang for the buck. BIGDADDYBEAR, what router are you using?

    NEW RR Lighting 40/5 SPEED'S

    Me too. I ordered mine on Friday and had it installed Saturday morning. Didn't care for their router so I called and they programmed it in bridge mode. So far so good.

    new speed coming ahead :]

    Check out the Netgear WNDR-3700. It's getting very good reviews. Whatever you do, avoid the DGL-4500 by dlink. Recently since they jumped to firmware 1.2x or higher, what was a good router is having many issues. The biggest problem is once you are at 1.2, there is no way you can downgrade to...

    Bright House Cable Discussion

    I upgraded to the 20meg download speed in Dec and I'm loving it. For me it was well worth it since I'm sharing the connection with 2 xbox 360s, 1 XP PC, 3 Macs, 2 DVRs & a few portable gaming units. Not to mention video streaming from Netflix. No hiccups!

    Triple play requirement dropped for FASTER Internet Speeds

    This is in the Tampa Bay market. Very possible that it was precipitated by FIOS since they are getting very close to my neighborhood.

    Triple play requirement dropped for FASTER Internet Speeds

    BHN=Bright House Networks Triple Play is the industry term for the three services. Internet phone, Digital Cable Tv & Internet. Until two weeks ago, a BHN customer was not allowed to purchase the higher internet speeds if they did not have the cableTv package. If you had cable and internet...

    Triple play requirement dropped for FASTER Internet Speeds

    BHN has finally decided to offer faster internet speeds to all their customers. Meaning, they no longer require you to subscribe to their triple play. This is something I have been asking for a long time. Pricing is the same. $10 for 10megs down and $15 for 20megs.

    Fios Available in North Pinellas County?

    I have to wonder why it's taking Verizon so long to work it's way down to the Countryside area. Several months ago, Verizon had a table at CompUSA offering FIOS. For a while you could see their trucks in the vicinity but no more.
