I had Metrocast/Atlantic Broadband/Breezeline for years (Gilford). Once Comcast came into town and was available I switched over due to my increasingly frustrating issues with Breezeline. I haven't had any issue with Comcast and have 1Gb/s speeds for download on Internet. (About 300Mb/s for upload).

Fidium isn't available in Gilford yet, but it's only a matter of time since Consolidated is replacing all of its copper with fiber. I don't know if NHBB is available in the parts of Gilford served by NHEC. If not, I expect that will happen soon.

If the service was just for me I would only have Internet service, but since I am taking care of my elderly mother and she isn't particularly tech savvy, I have VIP (Video, Internet, Phone) service for her. It ain't cheap.

However, in the future I will cancel the video and phone service and probably change over to Fidium. I know quite a few people who have it and love it.
