I am not saying that Breezeline (Atlantic Broadband) is the best, and I've had some bad experience with them at buildings my work owns, but I am tired of paying almost $100/month to Comcast for god-awful internet. Concord area.

I'm surprised you're getting that upload speed through them. Did they run fiber to the home? I didn't think cable modems could run asynchronous just yet.

I'm in Rochester and Breezeline has been much worse than Comcast in my experience, unfortunately.

Really wish I didn't mean that.

I didn't have that experience when I lived in Rochester. Opposite, actually.

I wish. Ever since Atlantic rebranded as Breezeline I get bad speeds and lose internet all the time.

Loved getting off Comcast at first.

Switched to fidium myself. Synchronous gigabit fiber for $70 is pretty awesome.

Would love to. I live in a monopoly street.

Really hoping our condo association will add this option sometime. I'd love another option other than Comcast constantly trying to up my costs... NH really needs more options.

Fidium here, similar speed

We have Fidium. Love it.

Except streaming all our tv. There is so many apps I don’t even know what’s on. Is there a way to like put all my content in one app so I don’t have to go to a different app every time I’m “scrolling channels” to see what’s on. Or if I want to find a movie I have yo check all ten streaming services individually. I do miss the Comcast interface with the voice remote.

I suspect I’m doing this wrong

I thought Roku could do that (or at least search through all the connected services).

I use JustWatch.com on my phone to see where something is available. It can also keep track what you watch, but I've been using a trakt.tv account w/TVST (iPhone) for quite a few years, so I'm staying with that (unless JustWatch integrates with trakt.tv)

YouTube TV basically fills that niche for me. Browsing still isn't as convenient as Xfinity, but I'm at least able to browse a program guide and find something to watch.

Fidium is pretty good! I enrolled soon as I moved here and I love the gigabyte speeds (slightly overkill for what I do lol). Even the cheaper plans have decent quality speeds.

Do you have a smart tv? I’ve got a TCL and I’m able to search for whatever content I need, no matter the app it’s tied too. ie if I search Nightmare Before Christmas, the movie pops up and gives me every option through multiple streaming apps to choose from (rent through Disney, buy from Prime). That’s the closest thing I could think of

Boats_are_fun t1_ivnvc7e wrote

I do have a smart tv. I will have to see if there is a overall search feature. Right now it seems I have to search in each app. Than if none of the apps have the movie for free I have to go back to Amazon app to rent it

Just got it. Hate the mandatory $10 monthly router fee. Hate the nearly non-configurable router. Hate how the 300MB router app, which is required to access the router and can only be registered on one phone, is the largest app on my phone. A phone which is constantly nagging me to free up space because the OS and system files take up 87% of the total space.

Other than that the service has been great for the past week.

You can run your own router. You just have to give them a call and provide MAC address. Check out r/fidiumfiber for more information.

Boats_are_fun t1_ivnvggh wrote

Maybe I’m missing something. They advertised 70 dollars a month and I pay 70 a month. No extra fees I’m aware of.

Lords_of_Lands t1_ivrunqr wrote

If you read everything they say there's a $10 monthly router fee baked into the advertised price therefore there's no hidden fees...

Boats_are_fun t1_iw50its wrote

I guess I’m not all cranked up about a ten dollar fee when my bill is 50% of what it was with Comcast.

I hate CONcast

Just buy your own compatible router. For the same cost of 10 bucks a month for a year you own the router and will never have to pay the router rental fee

What streaming device do you use.? Google Chromecast with Google TV is our streamer of choice. You can ask Google assistant anything by pressing a button.

You can check off what streaming services you have if any and it will make recommendations on what to watch.

Free channels coming soon I read.

We switched to Hub66 in my area, local ISP based out of MA with offices in NH. $100/month for 1Gbps up/down, it's been awesome.

Breezelines customer service is awful. Some of the worst I have ever had to deal with. I have Comcast at work and in comparison to breezeline it’s amazing. I hope you have a different experience than I have had.

Best of luck

I wish I could get faster the 30mpbs upload. I’m stuck on crappy spectrum. They are my only option in the lakes region

ryboto t1_ivm2mn3 wrote

I wish I had another option but 1.2gbps for $80 isn't bad... only 40mbps upload though 😕

I really enjoyed breezeline. Disappointed I had to switch when I moved.
