Still waiting for Fidium! I've been switching back and forth between Breezeline and Xfinity. Both provide decent service. One keep cutting the price of the other. When my deal is up, I often find the other have a better deal!
I only buy internet. TV channels are handled by Apollo TV.

Thinking of dropping Xfinity myself. Service is good, but cost has gone up to $108 a month. Internet only. Anyone try star link?

Default Fiber is better

Go for fiber if you can get it (Fidium or NH Broadband). It has faster upload speed and doesn't go out during power failures because data travels to the central office using photons, not electrons. The cable folks are talking about a hybrid offering, some day, with fiber to the neighborhood and cable to your house. This will raise the upload speed capacity but won't solve the power outage issues. Of course, you are not getting cable tv with the fiber services, but there are plenty of streaming live tv services to choose from that run great over fiber internet.

Last, I check Breezeline has a $40 1 gig promotion guaranteed for 5 years. That was after I switched to Xfinity's $50 1 gig promotion for 5 years. The sticking points is for new customers. If you were a former customer, it didn't matter, you're a new customer.
