[Khandurian]

I dont know about other areas, but in my area, NBA Free preview will run from monday to monday. It's active now.

Should be active until 8am this coming monday (Jan. 29, 2007).

There are also 4 new iNDemand channels for NHL/MLB. Of course subject to blackout and/or alternate NHL programming.

Enjoy!

HEH Sorry, I've been working long hours... Youd think since storm season is gone, wed have a break but alas. their is always something to fix... Our headend is getting a nice makeover increaseing its space by about 3x the current levels.. Upgradeing all the hubs, and testing new methods so we can begin to setup new build areas with a Node+1 setup.. (this will put 1 node where 4 normally would be) Thus increaseing our BW greatly... and increaseing service quality for all customers.

Well a UPS would be an "uniteruptable power supply" Its simpley the "power backup" of the system inside the hubs, incase a power outage happens it keeps things running before the generators kick in so you dont see any "flashing" of service.. That shouldnt affect your RR speeds though unless they are taking down routers as they insert new supplies....

I live in the Orlando Area so not really sure on your market as to what they are doing, But I am aware of a big annoucement in regards to RR speeds coming shortly down the pipeline at BHN Orlando...

The 15/2 is our highest package as well, We do offer a "dedicated business access" with fiber to the location which can get upto 1gbit but that will cost some coin....

yea i got a brochure (did i spell that right? lol) about the 1 gps package also, but dint say the price, the site doesn't say either but i don't feel like calling for the info lol, u kno the price?, how is it that they can bring fiber to the business? i thought bhn was only fiber optic based within the system only? that means they can bring fiber all the way to the business/house/building now? if so thats kinda sweet. i wish they did fiber drop out to the houses instead of coax dropout at the end....

 

[jahlight]

Yea, Direct TV has exclusive MLB now.... That blows, they NFL and now MLB>

At least in Orlando im sure in other areas we are in the top 10 at least but in oraldno we have the largest fiber network in the city... Our fiber could wrap the planet if laid out straight.. and when it comes to service like our 1gbit fiber to the business... If you have to ask the price, you cant afford it.. Its not cheap, in the thousands per month range, and a nice setup fee...

Wow, didnt mean to make you upset. Was just trying to point out in a round about way that baseball is not really my thing.

Next time I'll just say that. Sorry.

 

[iceturkee]

khands, sorry, i wasn't directing my anger toward you but to directv who doesn't care if tons of poor slobs like me can't watch major league baseball without their crappy service!!
